Scratches on the surface If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and  an  undamaged layer of paint
remains, the touchup paint can be  applied  as soon as the spot has been cleaned.
Deep scratches  
1. Place a  strip of masking tape over the damaged surface.  Pull the tape off so that any  loose flakes of paint adhere to
it. 
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and  apply it with a  small brush.
When the primer surface  is dry, the paint can be  applied  using a  brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin
paint coats and  let dry after each application.  
3. If there is a  longer scratch, you may want  to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.
pg. 103 Washing
Washing the car
 The car should be  washed at regular intervals  since dirt, dust, insects and  tar spots adhere to the paint and  may cause
damage.
NOTE:  It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has
been used on the roads.
 When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften  the dirt before you wash
with a  sponge, and  plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
Bird  droppings:  Remove from  paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be  permanently damaged.
 A detergent can be  used to facilitate the softening of dirt and  oil.
 A water-soluble grease solvent may be  used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a  wash place equipped with a
drainage  separator.
 Dry the car with a  clean chamois and  remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and  rocker panels.
 The power radio antenna (sedans) must  be  dried after washing.
 Tar spots can be  removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
 A stiff-bristle brush and  lukewarm soapy water can be  used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves
visibility considerably.
 Wash off the dirt from  the underside (wheel housings fenders,  etc.).
 In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.
CAUTION:  During high pressure washing, the spray nozzle must  never be  closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do
not spray into the locks.
