Problems are usually associated with careless work or negligence of the craftsmen. They will lead to trouble and serious loss of money.
Usually, anti-corrosion is applied to a used car. This means that the body should be thoroughly washed and the bottom inspected – after all, it is full of old dirt, and rust has already appeared. Particular attention should be paid to spars and other “box” hollow profiles, as they are extremely difficult to clean. And if you apply the mastic directly to the rust, penetrating corrosion will form over time. At the same time, it will be difficult to notice holes: the owner will notice them if a piece of iron just falls off.
During work, drainage holes are shed with a protective compound. But if the masters are in a hurry, they can “forget” to clean and dry them. This will lead to the fact that moisture will begin to penetrate into the hidden cavities of the body, which will entail not only the appearance of rust, but also the rotting of the wiring cables. The latter, as you might guess, is fraught with short circuits.
In general, the effectiveness of any treatment directly depends on the quality of surface preparation, adherence to technology and equipment used. Therefore, it is not recommended to do such procedures yourself – waste your time and money. It is very difficult, armed with a simple brush, to make the coating uniform and tight. And without sealing, the metal will continue to rust. By the way, anti-corrosion is quite easy to fake. So, if you bought a branded composition in the car market, you can regret it, because it will have no effect.
Finally, it is necessary to update the protective mastic after the body repair. Now citizens are saving on this, because the “body” has already increased in price, but in vain. If the car was doing welding or straightening the geometry on the slope, then the factory protective coating was broken. In addition, mechanical action has changed the structure of the metal. All this will lead to corrosion in a few years.
