Paint damage
Paint is an important part of the car's rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. The most common types of paint-
work damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on the edges of wings, doors and
bumpers.

To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paint-
work should be rectified immediately.
