Minor 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 paint shop. and UNDERBODYWNTENN/'E Chemicals used for ice and snow removaland dust control can collecton the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on theunderbody parts such asfuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system eventhough 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 closedareas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed. Yourdealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can this do for you. I CHEMICAL PANT SPOTTING Some weather and atmospheric conditions cancreate 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 irregulardark spots etched into the paint surface. Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Cadillac will repair, at no charge to theowner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase, whichever comes first. 308
