Corrosion prevention
MG vehicles are designed to have
anti corrosion capabilities. The use
of special materials and protective
paint on most vehicle parts helps
maintain satisfactory appearance,
strength and reliability.
Although the surfaces of certain
parts inside the front compartment
or of the underbody may rust, the
reliability or performance of these
parts will be aected.
Damage to sheet metal parts
If the body needs to be repaired or
replaced, ensure that the repair
shop uses proper anti corrosion
materials to restore the anti
corrosion protection performance.
Foreign matter deposition
The following substance may
damage the paint surface:
• Calcium chloride and other salts
• Ice melting agent
• Road oil and asphalt Sap
• Bird droppings
• Industrial dust
Remove harmful substances on the
vehicle in time. If residues cannot be
removed with soap water, a special
cleaning agent can be used.

Finish paint damage
Repair the gravel scratches, cracks
or deep scratches on the finish paint
as soon as possible. Exposed metal
is prone to corrosion. Quick-drying
products can be used to repair tiny
cracks and scratches. Body and
paint repair shops can complete
large-scale repairs.
NOTE
Use only safe cleaning agents
that are not harmful to painted
surfaces.
Other cleaning agents may
permanently damage the paint.

Underbody maintenance
Corrosive substances used for ice
and snow melting and dust
prevention may accumulate at the
underbody. Failure to remove these
substances will accelerate corrosion
and rusting.
