Finish Damage Any stone chips, fracturesor 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 be repaired with touch-up can materials available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas finish damage can be corrected of in your dealer's body and paint shop. Chemical Paint Spotting Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can upon and fall attack painted surfaceson 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 inthe paint job causes this, Buick 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. Underbody Maintenance Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect the underbody. If these are not on removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur the on underbody parts suchas 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 for you.
