Anti-Corrosion Perforation Warranty
Maintaining your vehicle against corrosion
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish and aid in avoiding rust is to keep the vehicle clean by washing it frequently. Wash the vehicle only with lukewarm or cold water. Do not wash the vehicle in the direct rays of the sun, or use strong soap or chemical detergents. Any cleaning agents used should be washed off properly and not allowed to dry on the finish.
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys and other foreign matter may damage the vehicle’s finish if left on painted surfaces. Prompt washing may not completely remove all these deposits. Additional cleaners may be needed. When using chemical cleaners developed for this purpose, be sure they are safe for use on painted surfaces.
Corrosive materials used for ice removal and dust control can collect on underbody surfaces. If these materials are not removed, accelerated rusting can occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor panel and exhaust system. At least twice a year, and more frequently in climates where road salt is commonly used, thoroughly flush these materials from the underbody with plain water. Take care to clean areas where mud and other debris can collect.
Any stone chips, cracks or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop into a major repair expense.
