After washing, inspect the paintwork for 
damage. Any stone chips, fractures or deep 
scratches in the bodywork should be repaired 
promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and 
can develop into major repair expense. Some 
exterior panels of your vehicle are made of 
aluminium which will not corrode in the same 
manner as steel. However, any damage should 
still receive prompt attention. Minor chips and 
scratches can be repaired with touch-up 
materials...
