In the spring, many motorists not only want to quickly carry out planned maintenance and tire installation, but also treat the underside of their car protectively. The summer
Anti-corrosion treatment of literally all cars is becoming popular again, as the crisis has sharply reduced the number of people willing to sell their old car and buy a new one. And there are practically no new cars in dealer showrooms. And as the period of car ownership increases, it is understandable that people want to protect their properties from rust. Moreover, you often do it yourself to save work. We want to warn you: do not rush this procedure, otherwise you can only make it worse.
If the car is used and has already driven more than a thousand kilometers, most likely, corrosion will begin to appear on the body or dirt has accumulated. If all this is not removed quickly, the rust will progress “covered” with anticorrosive, and over time you will get through holes. So, before any procedure, the body must be carefully inspected, and then washed and dried.
Pay special attention to those places that have not been treated with a protective coating at the factory. They are most at risk because they are “bombed” by both road reagents and small gravel, leaving micro-dents. They must be carefully processed and many forget to do this. Or a thin layer of anti-corrosion agent is hastily applied, which may not withstand another “attack” with stones.
It is common for the drain holes in cars to be clogged. Water begins to accumulate in gutters, which also accelerates corrosion processes. Therefore, before any protective procedures, be sure to remove all debris from the drain. Particular attention should be paid to the front wheel arches. To be precise, those places where there are plastic fenders. Behind them most of the dirt accumulates. Cleaning these places is not a quick job. It is not enough to remove the dirt. You have to wash everything well and let it dry. Well, then degrease and pre-process with various preparations. If you regret this time, the result will be disastrous. Corrosion will increase and you will be sure that it will not show up there.
And if you see corrosion in the box-shaped cavities of the thresholds, on the spars and crossbeams, you need to postpone the train to the dacha and go to a specialized service. These shortcomings cannot simply be eliminated. In addition, there is a possibility that the rust has already “eaten through” the power elements. This means that body work is required. And that will cost time and money. Corrosion of power elements is a dangerous thing. In the event of an accident, the body can easily be folded into an accordion.
Finally, after applying to the body, the anti-corrosion agent must dry, and here’s a nuance. If the driver wants to save money and does everything himself, he often leaves the treated car to dry on the street. But in the spring the weather is changeable. There may be frost and rain. Moisture will do its disastrous job and the anti-corrosion agent will imperfectly “lay down”, so the procedure will have to be repeated.
