PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION
Pre-delivery Inspection
• If the coated surface is swollen out due to seams
or moisture, expose the vehicle to the sun light for a
few hours. Otherwise, heat the portion with seams
or moisture using a dryer, etc.
• Dispose of the peeled wrap guard as burnable in-
dustrial garbage.
2) Check the whole vehicle body for stains, flaking,
damage caused by transportation, rust, dirt, cracks,
or blistering.
NOTE:
• It is better to determine an inspection pattern in
order to avoid missing an area, since the total in-
spection area is wide.
• It is desirable not to make corrections to the body
paint unless absolutely needed. However, if any
corrections are required to remove scratches or
rust, the area to be corrected must be limited as
much as possible. Re-painting and spray painting
must be avoided whenever possible.
3) Carefully check each window glass for scratch-
es. Slight damage may be removed by polishing
with cerium oxide. (Half-fill a cup with cerium oxide,
and add warm water to it. Then agitate the content
until it turn to wax. Apply this wax to a soft cloth,
and polish the glass.)
4) Check each portion of the vehicle body and un-
derside components for the formation of rust. If rust
is discovered, remove it with #80 — #180 emery
paper, and treat the surface with rust preventive.
After this treatment is completed, flush the portion
thoroughly, and prepare the surface for repair
painting.
5) Check each portion of the body and all of the
chrome parts for deformation or distortion. Also
check each lamp lens for cracks.
6) Peel the protective tape, vinyl wrapping and
identification seal attached to the following places.
• Seat
• Door trim
• Floor carpet
• Side sill
• Back of rear view mirror
