SERVICE INFORMATION

The following procedures and materials have been found effective in removing iron particles, water or chemical spots, scratches and/or swirl marks which have not penetrated the clear coat/color coat of painted vehicle surfaces.

NOTE:
The updated repair procedures discussed in this Service Bulletin can be applied to all types of Nissan clear coat materials, including the new Cross Link clear coat (NCLC)/hard clear coat.

*NOTE:
Measure the paint thickness before and after abrasive cleaning. If abrasive repair is not successful on the first panel tested, it must be tried on each affected panel (hood, roof, trunk etc.,) to determine which panel(s) must be re-clear coated or re-color/clear coated and which may be repaired by abrasive means.
