Outline of Procedures

A. Wash with detergent such as (Nissan P/N 999MP-A3100), then dry.

B. Identify the type of contamination using fluorescent lights and magnification. If paint over-spray is found, a specialized repair process is needed.

If paint contamination other than paint over spray is suspected, test a 2' x 2' section on each affected panel as follows to determine the severity of damage and repair effort needed:

C. Re-wash several times to remove detergent and water soluble spots. If spots are removed, wash affected panels.

D. Clean with Nissan Bug and Tar remover for solvent soluble spots. If spots are removed, clean affected panels.

E. To remove iron particles and acid rain residue, use Finish Kare # 1119 followed by # 883 (apply # 883 several times if necessary) and always neutralize with # 118SC.

F. Inspect for damage using fluorescent light source and magnification. If spots are removed, clean affected panels.

G. Use abrasive cleaning on test section to remove up to 0.5 mil of damaged top/clear coat.* If damage is less than 0.5 mil deep, clean affected panels with abrasive method. After polishing, inspect for swirl marks using halogen lights. If damage is more than 0.5 mil deep, the affected panels must be repaired either by re-clear, re-color/clear coat, or re-color coated (on vehicles with no final clear coat).
