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 major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired
with touch-up materials available from your
Saturn retailer. Larger areas of finish damage
can be corrected in your Saturn retailer’s body
and paint shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and
dust control can collect on the underbody.
If these are not removed, corrosion and rust
can develop 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 debris can collect. Dirt packed in
close areas of the frame should be loosened before
being flushed. Your Saturn retailer 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,
ring-shaped discolorations, and small, irregular
dark spots etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this,
Saturn 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 occurs first.
