Tires
To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner.
NOTICE:
When applying
a
tire dressing always take care
to wipe off any overspray or splash from all
painted surfaces on the body or wheels of the
vehicle. Petroleum-based products may damage
the paint finish.
Sheet Metal
Damage
If
your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal
repair or replacement, make sure
the
body repair shop
applies anti-corrosion material to the parts repaired or
replaced to restore, corrosion protection.
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 retailer or other service
outlets. Larger areas of finish damage
can
be corrected
in your retailer’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
retailer 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,
Oldsmobile 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.
