APPEARANCE CARE
protection
is
not
needed
or used on these parts.
By
omitting unneeded
rust protection on such parts and applying extra protection where it
is
needed most, best value
is
assured for the
car
buyer.
Sheet Metal Damage
If your
car
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
so
that
corrosion protection
is
restored. We
recommend the . application
of
GM
Guard-Mor or equivalent rust
preventive material. (Also see
"Finish Damage"
in
this section.)
UNDERBODY MAINTENANCE
Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control can
collect on the underbody.
If
these materials
are
not removed, accelerated
corrosion (rust) can occur on underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame,
floor
pan, and exhaust system even though they have been provided with
corrosion protection.
At least every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with
plain water. Take care to
dean
well any areas where mud and other
debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas
of
the frame should
be
loosened before being flushed.
If
desired, . your Pontiac dealer can
perform this service for you. Your dealer can also recommend additional
underbody rust preventive materials which will help protect your
car
from corrosion.
