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.
'Miinor
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 vehicle 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 surfaces 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,
Geo
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.
