Exterior Care
Inspect your car for chipped or
scratched paint every time you
wash it. Repair it as soon as
possible to prevent corrosion. Use
the touch-up paint on small chips
and scratches. More extensive
damage should be repaired by a
professional.
Examine the chip or scratch closely
before repairing it. If it does not go
down to bare metal, clean it with
soap and water and apply the
touch-up paint. If it does go to the
metal, apply a coat of primer first.
After this dries, apply the touch-up
paint. Build up the paint in the
damaged area to the level of the
surrounding paint. Several thin
coats of paint are better than one
thick coat.
Aluminum Wheels
Clean your Honda's aluminum alloy
wheels as you do the rest of the
exterior. Wash them with the same
solution, and rinse them thoroughly.
The wheels have a protective clear-
coat that keeps the aluminum from
corroding and tarnishing. Using
harsh chemicals, including some
commercial wheel cleaners, or stiff
brushes can damage this clear-coat.
Only use a mild detergent and soft
brush or sponge to clean the wheels.
