local source for Auto Magic Special Cleaner Concentrate.
During rail transportation or extended storage near industrial areas, vehicles may
occasionally be subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles shed from railroad
tracks, train wheels, exposure to heavy machinery facilities, grinding, welding, etc.
This type of contamination can be identified by the presence of small red or brown
particles on the paint surface. These particles are often difficult to see on dark color
paints, but can be easily felt when brushing a hand across horizontal body surfaces such
as hood, roof, or deck lid.
CAUTION:
Because of the abrasiveness of these small iron particles, polishing or buffing
procedures should not be attempted to repair the paint surface of an affected vehicle.
This will result in further paint damage and detract from vehicle appearance.
Washing the affected paint surfaces with Auto Magic Special Cleaner Concentrate is
the recommended method to dislodge embedded iron particles and remove the
surrounding rust stains. The correct usage of Auto Magic Special Cleaner
Concentrate is described in this bulletin.

Title:
WHEEL FILM FOR BRAKE ROTOR
RUST PREVENTION
Models:
All Models with Wheel Film
Technical Service
Information Bulletin
July 16, 2004
PD001-04
To prevent brake rotor rust from forming during transportation and storage, wheel film will
be adopted instead of using a cardboard type anti±rust cover.
The purpose of the wheel film is to protect the disc brake rotor from weather elements
and initial rust before the vehicle is delivered to the customer. Consequently, the film
should remain on the wheel as long as possible.
NOTE:
Retain the wheel film on the disc wheel during vehicle display and storage.
Do not remove the wheel film right away at Pre±Delivery Service (PDS) if the vehicle
will be stored after PDS.
Remove the wheel film just prior to delivery to customers.
