Hyundai Santa Fe: Exterior care / Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the painted surface must be repaired promptly.
Exposed metal will quickly rust and may develop into a major repair expense.
NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires any metal repair or replacement, be
sure the body shop applies anticorrosion materials to the parts repaired or replaced.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped) In case of matte paint finish vehicles,
it is impossible to modify only the damaged area and repair of the whole part is
necessary. If the vehicle is damaged and painting is required, we recommend that
you have your vehicle maintained and repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Take
extreme care, as it is difficult to restore the quality after the repair.
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly
and frequently at least once a month with lukewarm or cold water...
Bright-metal maintenance
To remove road tar and insects, use a tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
To protect the surfaces of bright metal parts from corrosion, apply a
coating of wax or chrome preservative and rub to a high luster...
