Finish Damage
Any
stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish
should be repaired right away. Bare metal
will
corrode
quickly and may develop into
a
major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up
materials available from your dealer or other service
outlets. Larger areas
of
finish damage can be corrected
in
your dealer’s body and paint shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust
control can collect on the underbody.
If
these are not
removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on the
underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system
even
though
they
have corrosion
protection.
At least every spring, flush these materials from the
underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud
and other debris can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being flushed.
Your dealer or an underbody car washing system can do
this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a
chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and
attack painted surhces on your vehicle. This damage
can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into
the paint surface.
Although no defect
in
the paint job causes this, Buick
will
repair, at
no
charge to
the
owner, the surfaces
of
new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within
12
months or
12,000
miles
(20
000
km) of purchase,
whichever occurs first.
