Finish Damage Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches the finish inshould be repaired right away. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your dealer or otherservice outlets. Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected in your dealer's body and paint shop. Fiberglass Springs NOTICE: Don't use corrosive or acidic cleaning agents, engine degreasers, aluminum cleaning agents or other harsh solvents to clean fiberglass springs; they'll damage the springs. Underbody Maintenance Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on theunderbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floorpan, and exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection. At least every spring, flush thesematerials 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 oran 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, Chevrolet will repair, at no charge the owner, the surfacesof to new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within 12 months or 12,000miles (20 000 km) of purchase, whichever comes first. 6-64
