Quest Minivan XE V6-2960cc 3.0L SOHC MFI (VG30E) (1998)
following:
1.
Water spots on light colored vehicles and some vehicles which have had minimal exposure to the elements can be repaired by buffing. First, apply
a fine cutting compound using an orbital buffer to remove a thin layer of the top coat or clear coat. After removal of the spots, buff with glazing
compound to remove the fine scratches.
2.
More severe spotting can be removed with a coarser cutting compound followed by finer compound and glazing compound to remove the
scratches.
3.
The most severe water spots on clear coated, dark vehicles can be repaired by wet sanding the affected areas with 1200 grit sandpaper to prepare
the surface then spraying a fresh clear coat on those areas. Non-clear coated vehicles should be repairable with either step 1 or 2.
* Available through Dyment Distribution Services.

APPLIED VEHICLE:
All 1993-98 Quest (V40)
SERVICE INFORMATION
If a 1993-98 Quest has worn paint or rust on the inside lower portion of the sliding door (below the bottom edge of the door finisher), the cause may be
the body weatherstrip (located on the body) rubbing against the painted surface of the sliding door. Over time, body vibration and opening/closing of the
sliding door may wear the paint to eventually expose bare metal.
Use the following service procedure to correct this incident.
