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 dealer
or
other
service
outlets.
Larger
areas
of
finish
damage
can
be
corrected
in
your
dealer’s
body
and
paint
shop.
Underbody
Maintenance
Chemicals
used
for
ice
and
snow
remova
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
dealer
or
an
underbody
vehicle
washing
system
can do this
foryou.
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,
Chevrolet
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
comes
first.
