Kia Rio: Light bulbs / Finish damage repair, Bright-metal maintenance
Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the painted surface must be repaired promptly.
Exposed metal will quickly rust and may develop into a major repair expense.
If your vehicle is damaged and requires any metal repair or replacement, be sure
the body shop applies anti-corrosion materials to the parts repaired or replaced.
Bright-metal maintenance
- To remove road tar and insects, use a tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
- To protect the surfaces of brightmetal parts from corrosion, apply a coating
of wax or chrome preservative and rub to a high luster.
- During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or preservative. If necessary, coat the parts
with non-corrosive petroleum jelly or other protective compound.
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label directions when using any chemical cleaner
or polish. Read all warning and caution statements that appear on the label.
