Exterior Care

Inspect your car for chipped or
scratched paint every time you wash
it. Repair it as soon as possible to
prevent corrosion. Use the touch-up
paint on small chips and scratches.
More extensive damage should be
repaired by a professional.

Examine the chip or scratch closely
before repairing it. If it does not go
down to bare metal, clean it with
soap and water and apply the touch-
up paint. If it does go to the metal,
apply a coat of primer first. After this
dries, apply the touch-up paint. Build
up the paint in the damaged area to
the level of the surrounding paint.
Several thin coats of paint are better
than one thick coat.

Aluminum Wheels

On VX model

Clean your Honda's aluminum alloy

wheels as you do the rest of the

exterior. Wash them with the same
solution, and rinse them thoroughly.

The wheels have a protective clear-

coat that keeps the aluminum from
corroding and tarnishing. Using
harsh chemicals, including some
commercial wheel cleaners, or stiff
brushes can damage this clear-coat.
Only use a mild detergent and soft
brush or sponge to clean the wheels.
