Service Procedure
NOTE
ANY CHANGES TO THIS PROCEDURE WILL CAUSE AN INCOMPLETE OR UNSATISFACTORY REPAIR. THE USE OF ANY OTHER
PRODUCT OR PROCEDURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO ALUMINUM OR PAINTED SURFACES.
NOTE
THE PRODUCTS USED TO REMOVE SURFACE CONTAMINATION FROM PAINT ARE DESIGNED FOR VEHICLES WHICH HAVE
EXPERIENCED EXPOSURE FOR LESS THAN 120 DAYS. VEHICLES THAT EXCEED 120 DAYS OF EXPOSURE MAY REQUIRE THE
PROCEDURE BE REPEATED TO RESOLVE THE CONCERN. ONCE THIS PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO
PERFORM POLISHING OR REFINISHING PROCEDURES AFTER VEHICLE INSPECTION.
Identification
Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail shipments, etc. These particles mechanically bond to a vehicle's
painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature combine with particles to create a chemical reaction. This reaction creates an acid, causing the iron to
corrode and enter the paint surface. Industrial fallout and acid rain generate corrosive compounds that fall on the vehicle's painted surfaces. When
subjected to moisture and temperature, chemical compounds are created that etch the paint surface.
To assist in identitying surface contamination, use a (Tandy-Radio Shack # 63-851) 30x lighted magnifier.
Concern Description
Ferrous Metal
Light Colored Vehicles:
Small orange stains the size of "mechanical pencil lead." The surface is rough to the touch.
