Appearance Care And Protection
From Corrosion
Protection Of Body And Paint From
Corrosion
Vehicle body care requirements vary according
to geographic locations and usage. Chemicals
that make roads passable in snow and ice and
those that are sprayed on trees and road sur-
faces during other seasons are highly corrosive
to the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking,
which exposes your vehicle to airborne con-
taminants, road surfaces on which the vehicle is
operated, extreme hot or cold weather and
other extreme conditions will have an adverse
effect on paint, metal trim, and underbody pro-
tection.
The following maintenance recommendations
will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from
the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration or re-
moval of paint and protective coatings from your
vehicle.
