3. When waxing, coat evenly with the

sponge supplied or a soft cloth.

4. Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.

NOTE

A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and similar

materials will usually also take off the wax.

Rewax these areas even if the rest of the

vehicle does not need it.

qRepairing Damage to the Finish

Deep scratches or chips on the finish

should be repaired promptly. Exposed

metal quickly rusts and can lead to major

repairs.

CAUTION

If your Mazda is damaged and needs

metal parts repaired or replaced,

make sure the body shop applies

anti-corrosion materials to all parts,

both repaired and new. This will

prevent them from rusting.

qBright-Metal Maintenance

l

Use tar remover to remove road tar and

insects. Never do this with a knife or

similar tool.

l

To prevent corrosion on bright-metal

surfaces, apply wax or chrome

preservative and rub it to a high luster.

l

During cold weather or in coastal areas,

cover bright-metal parts with a coating

of wax or preservative heavier than

usual. It would also help to coat them

with noncorrosive petroleum jelly or

some other protective compound.

CAUTION

Don't use steel wool, abrasive

cleaners, or strong detergents

containing highly alkaline or caustic

agents on chrome-plated or anodized

aluminum parts. This may result in

damage to the protective coating and

cause discoloration or paint

deterioration.

qUnderbody Maintenance

Road chemicals and salt used for ice and

snow remo val and solvents used for dust

control may collec t on the underbo dy. If

not removed, they will speed up rusting

and deterioration of such underbody parts

as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust

system, even though these parts may be

coated with anti-corrosive material.

Thoroughly flush the underbody and

wheel housings with lukewarm or cold

water at the end of each winter. Try also

to do this every month.

Pay speci al attention to these areas

because they easily hide mud and dirt. It

will do more harm than good to wet

down the road grim e without removing

it.

The lower edges of doors, rocker panels,

and frame members have drain holes that

should not be clogged. Water trapped

there will cause rusting.
