Sandblasting is a disease common to all vehicles. Unless, of course, you do not take any measures to prevent the disease. And in this case we are not
In fact, it is easy to prevent the formation of chips on the car body. At a minimum, this requires observance of certain unwritten rules during the operation of the machine. Let’s actually talk about it.
And maybe let’s start with the simplest – from the distance. Despite the fact that almost all drivers know how often small stones, dust, sand and dirt fly out from under the wheels of the vehicle in front, few try to keep a safe distance. But in vain, because even on a perfectly flat surface there is a risk of holding a foreign object that could lie on the pavement and fly straight into your car after colliding with it with a previous car.
In addition, stones and pieces of iron often get stuck between the wheels of the same trucks or under the brake calipers of cars, which, with the next bump, easily hit the bumper or hood of the “iron horse” against the stern. Experts recommend keeping a distance of at least 100 meters from the front car and all 150 from the truck.
And you shouldn’t organize races if someone is already overtaking you. It is better to skip so that the person can perform their maneuver without throwing stones at you. A passing car ‘fires’ on the downstream neighbors no less than the heavy truck you were chasing.
No less critical for the premature appearance of sandblasting is exceeding the speed limit. Especially when driving on an unpaved road or on stretches of track that are littered with debris. The speed of the car raises dust, debris and pebbles, and the stronger it is, the more effective the impact on the body paintwork. By the way, the problem is also relevant for winter driving in places where the canvas is sprinkled with sand or anti-icing granite chips.
Finally, try to choose a travel time when there is the least amount of traffic on the road. This is because, if possible, do not enter the roadway at night and avoid active driving over rough terrain. It’s not for nothing that they still say: the quieter you go, the further you get.
