The yellow “snot” that “decorated” every domestic car in the Soviet and early Russian years was an alternative to the appearance of rust, which is much more difficult
With the expression “anti-corrosion treatment”, an experienced driver will wipe a tear from an acute burning sensation not only in the eyes, but also in the nose, and the novice will raise his eyebrows in surprise: they say, why? Then, that the humidity and salt of the Russian road in winter turns a thin coat of paint from a modern car to dust in a few years, and then the iron starts to rot. Bodywork repairs are expensive and complicated, and high-quality repairs, which are solid and worth money, are even more expensive. So it is much easier to treat the entire car with protective agents than to restore the factory look later.
A few decades ago, this thesis raised no questions, although both the quality of the compositions and the appearance of their processing left much to be desired. Today, the market abounds with a variety of “chemistry” that can preserve not only the internal, but also the external elements of the machine, creating a reliable “envelopment” of rust for years to come.
There are expensive ones, there are cheap ones, there is a spray can to apply with a brush, there is also a spray can that can be sprayed with an airbrush. It’s not the form factor that matters, but the composition and features. In the USSR, it was customary to carry out anti-corrosion treatments with almost homemade compositions of drying oil, mining, pushsal and other improvised means. Then came Movil, a special anti-rust compound developed at the research institute. Further, imported funds came to our latitudes, the best of which was the famous “rest stop” – America also has a “rusty belt”.
They all involve a cocktail of preservative mastic in liquid form, which is applied in one way or another to the floor and door sills of the car. The real life of each is no more than five years, smear and forget will not work. The difference is the drying time and fluidity, as it is important that the composition stays on the iron, not a pile on the floor. Thresholds can still be filled with mining and other slurry, but this trick won’t work with the bottom of the car.
An important point that many people forget is preliminary “caresses”: before applying a composition, the surface must be washed. And the better this is done, the longer the application will take and later will be asked to repeat the procedure. Grandfathers say the pushsal and mining “garage cocktail” lasted two or three years. But then they traveled less and did not sprinkle salt on the roads.
Summing up, it is necessary to emphasize the following: you should choose according to the recommendation, but do it wisely and without haste. The economy has to be economical, but one spray can, smeared with a thin layer on the bottom, has no effect. It will just be money. Professionals suggest that for high-quality processing of one middle-class car, 5-6 bottles of “chemistry” are needed, which after thorough washing are placed on the metal in a thick layer. Anyone who is afraid to repeat the Soviet experience with appearance should know that the anti-corrosion treatment, performed by a master of his craft, looks neat and lasts a long time. And with success.
By the way, the AvtoVzglyad portal conducted a large comprehensive test of various anti-corrosion agents and identified the best of them. Read more here.
