Preparation

The affected surface must be clean and dry to be repaired. Mask off adjacent panels, mouldings, stripe, and character lines as required.

CAUTION:
EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE WORN. JEWELRY, WATCHES, AND BELT BUCKLES MUST BE REMOVED OR COVERED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO PAINT FINISH.

NOTE:
CHECK PAINT FILM THICKNESS BEFORE AND AFTER PERFORMANCE OF REPAIRS. MAXIMUM PAINT FILM REMOVAL IS 0.3 OF A MIL.

NOTE:
PERFORM A TRIAL REPAIR ON A SMALL AREA. FIRST, TRY A POLISH; IF THIS IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, TRY BUFFING WITH FORD MEDIUM DUTY BODY SHOP PAINT CLEANER (F6AZ-19530-BA) OR FORD HEAVY DUTY BODY SHOP PAINT CLEANER (F6AZ-19530-CA) AND, FINALLY, USE WET SANDING TO REMOVE THE CONDITION. USE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE ON THE REMAINING AREAS. AN OUTLINE OF THE COMPLETE PROCEDURE AND REQUIRED MATERIALS FOLLOWS.
