Spray on the solution as directed by the instructions, and see if the dirt and dust is removed. Use a little more spray in bad areas to help get the wheels completely clean.

Then the rear deck fixture is attached by another machine and is welded on. The hood, which is added on next, is not made of steel, but rather it is plastic in order to reduce weight of the car, and therefore reduces gas mileage. The cars then arrive at the paint shop. The cars receive a coat called the “E-Coat” which allows paint to be attracted to the car electrostatically and protects it against rust and corrosion as well.
