Kia pride 1997 - Finish Damage Repair; Bright-Metal Maintenance

CAUTION
Wiping dust or dirt off the body with
a dry cloth will scratch the finish
Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, strong detergents con-
taining highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or
anodized aluminum parts. This may
result in damage to the protective
coating and cause discoloration or
paint deterioration.
Finish Damage Repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired prompily
because exposed metal will quickly rust
and can cause a condition that may
require major repair.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
any metal replacement, be sure the
body shop applies anticorrosion mate-
rials to the parts repaired or replaced.
