Information Bulletin

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information regarding the proper procedures to
clean vehicles that may have been subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles
such as rail dust.
1994 ± Current model year Lexus vehicles.

* Contact the main office of Auto Wax Company Inc. (1±800±826±0828 or www.automagic.biz) to find a
local source for Auto Magic
Special Cleaner Concentrate.
During rail transportation or extended storage near industrial areas, vehicles may
occasionally be subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles shed from railroad
tracks, train wheels, exposure to heavy machinery facilities, grinding, welding, etc.
This type of contamination can be identified by the presence of small red or brown
particles on the paint surface. These particles are often difficult to see on dark color
paints, but can be easily felt when brushing a hand across horizontal body surfaces such
as hood, roof, or deck lid.
CAUTION:
Because of the abrasiveness of these small iron particles, polishing or buffing
procedures should not be attempted to repair the paint surface of an affected vehicle.
This will result in further paint damage and detract from vehicle appearance.
Washing the affected paint surfaces with Auto Magic
Special Cleaner Concentrate is
the recommended method to dislodge embedded iron particles and remove the
surrounding rust stains. The correct usage of Auto Magic
Special Cleaner
Concentrate is described in this bulletin.
