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 dealer or an underbody car 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, Buick
will repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces of
new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within
I2
months or
12,000
miles
(20
000
km) of purchase,
whichever comes first.
