ISSUE:
Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail shipments, combustion engines, jet engines, body shops, etc. These
particles mechanically/magnetically bond to vehicles' painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature combine with the particles to create a chemical
reaction. The reaction causes the particles to corrode and enter into the physical paint film.
ACTION:
To remove these particles/contaminants, USE ONLY the following procedure. The procedure must be performed before any buffing, polishing, color
sanding or refinishing is attempted. The materials in this procedure are alkaline, acidic and neutral. They must be used in the specified order.
CAUTION:
ANY CHANGES TO THIS PROCEDURE WILL CAUSE AN INCOMPLETE OR UNSATISFACTORY REPAIR AND MAY RESULT IN
