qWater Marks

Occurrence

Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can

contain harmful minerals such as salt and

lime. If moisture containing these

minerals settles on the vehicle and

evaporates, the minerals will concentrate

and harden to form white rings. The rings

can damage your vehicle's finish.

Prevention

It is necessary to wash and wax your

vehicle to preserve its finish according to

the instructions in this section. These

steps shoul d be taken immediately after

you find water marks on your vehicle's

finish.

qPaint Chipping

Occurrence

Paint chipping occurs when gravel thrown

in the air by another vehicle's tires hits

your vehicle.

How to avoid paint chipping

Keeping a safe distance between you and

the vehicle ahead reduces the chances of

having your paint chipped by flying

gravel.

NOTE

l

The paint chipping zone varies with the

speed of the vehicle. For example, when

traveling at 90 km/h (56 mph), the paint

chipping zone is 50 m (164 ft).

l

In low temperatures a vehicle's finish

hardens. This increases the chance of paint

chipping.

l

Chipped paint can lead to rust forming on

your Mazda. Before this happens, repair the

damage by using Mazda touch-up paint

according to the instructions in this section.

Failure to repair the affected area could

lead to serious rusting and expensive

repairs.
