PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION
53.APPEARANCE CHECK 2
1) When vehicle body is covered with protective
film, peel it off.
NOTE:
• Use of steam facilitates peeling off the warp
guard.
• For a vehicle left for a long time or at low temper-
ature, sprinkle some water heated to 50 — 60°C
(122 — 140°F) over the vehicle to raise its surface
temperature before peeling off the wrap guard. Do
not use the water heated to over 60°C (140°F).
• If the adhesive remains exist on the coated sur-
face, soak a flannel rag, etc. with a small amount of
coating wax or solvent such as oil benzene and
IPA, put the soaked cloth on the remains lightly,
and then wipe them off with a flannel rag etc.
• Keep solvent from touching the resin or rubber
parts. Do not use coating wax or solvent while the
component surface temperature is high due to hot
weather etc.
• If the coated surface is swollen out due to seams
or moisture, expose the vehicle to the sunlight for a
few hours or heat the seam and swollen portions
using a dryer etc.
• Dispose of the peeled wrap guard as burnable in-
dustrial garbage.
2) Check the whole vehicle body for flaking paint,
damage by transportation, corrosion, dirt, cracks or
blisters.
NOTE:
• It is better to determine an inspection pattern in
order to avoid missing an area, since the total in-
spection area is wide.
• Do not repair the body paint unless absolutely
necessary. Also, if the vehicle is in need of repair to
remove scratches or corroded paint, the repair area
must be limited to the minimum. Re-painting and
spray painting must be avoided as possible.
3) Check each window glass for scratches careful-
ly. Slight damage may be removed by polishing
with cerium oxide. (Fill a cup half with cerium oxide,
and add warm water to it. Then agitate the content
until it turns to wax. Apply this wax to a soft cloth,
and polish the glass with it.)
4) Check each portion of the vehicle body and un-
derside components for the formation of rust. If rust
is discovered, remove it with sandpaper of #80 to
#180 and treat the surface with rust preventive. Af-
ter this treatment is completed, flush the portion
thoroughly, and prepare the surface for repair
painting.
5) Check each portion of body and all of the plated
parts for deformation or distortion. Also, check
each light lens for cracks.
6) Peel the protective tape, vinyl wrapping and
identification seal attached to the following places.
• Seats
• Door trim
• Floor carpet
• Side sill
• Front hood lock release lever
• Edge rear
• Rear wiper
• Sedan rear combination light (Trunk lid opening
portion)
• Roof rail
• Door mirror
