• Connect a hose to a tap, and spray water on the vehicle. The rate of water spray must be approx. 20 to 25 L (5.3 — 6.6 US gal, 4.4 — 5.5 Imp gal) per minute.
When spraying water on areas adjacent to the floor and wheel house, increase the pressure. When spraying water on areas other than the floor and wheel house, decrease the pressure. But the force of water must be made strong occasionally by pressing the end of the hose.

If any dampness in the compartments is discovered after the water has been applied, carefully check all the areas that may have possibly contributed to the leak.
1. Check the paint after removing the paint protective coating and washing the vehicle.
NOTE:
• It is easier to remove the wrap guard using steam.
• For the vehicle left for a long time or at low temperature, sprinkle some water heated 50 — 60°C (122 — 140°F) over the vehicle to raise its surface temperature before peeling off the wrap guard. Do not use the water heated to over 60°C (140°F).
• If the adhesive remains exist on the coated surface, soak a flannel rag, etc. with a small amount of coating wax or solvent such as oil benzene and IPA, put the soaked cloth on the remains lightly, and then wipe them off with a flannel rag etc.
• Keep solvent from touching the resin or rubber parts. Do not use coating wax or solvent while the component surface temperature is high due to hot weather etc.
• If the coated surface is swollen out due to seams or moisture, expose the vehicle to the sunlight for a few hours or heat the seam and swollen portions using a dryer etc.
• Dispose of the peeled wrap guard as burnable industrial garbage.
2. Check the whole vehicle body for flaking paint, damage by transportation, corrosion, dirt, cracks or blisters.
NOTE:
• It is better to determine an inspection pattern in order to avoid missing an area, since the total inspection area is wide.
• Do not repair the body paint unless absolutely necessary. Also, if the vehicle is in need of repair to remove scratches or corroded paint, the repair area must be limited to the minimum. Re-painting and spray painting must be avoided as possible.
3. Check each window glass for scratches carefully. Slight damage may be removed by polishing with cerium oxide. (Fill a cup half with cerium oxide, and add warm water to it.) Then agitate the content until it turns to wax. Apply this wax to a soft cloth, and polish the glass with it.)
4. Check each portion of the vehicle body and underside components for the formation of rust. If rust is discovered, remove it with sandpaper of #80 to #180 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 body and all of the chrome parts for deformation or distortion. Also, check each light lens for cracks.
6. Peel the protective tape, vinyl wrapping and identification seal attached to the following places.
• Seats
• Door trim
