Toyota Yaris: Exterior Care / Bright-Metal Maintenance
- Use tar remover to remove road tar and insects. Never do this with
a knife or similar tool.
- To prevent corrosion on bright-metal surfaces, apply wax or chrome
preservative and rub it to a high luster.
- 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.
NOTICE
Do not 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.
Deep scratches or chips on the finish should be repaired promptly.
Exposed metal quickly rusts and can lead to major repairs.
NOTICE
If your Toyota 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...
Road chemicals and salt used for ice and snow removal and solvents
used for dust control may collect on the underbody. 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...
