Sometimes, after purchasing a car, some owners, in order to maintain the original mechanical strength and normal appearance of the body, make additional treatment against corrosion. After all, metal corrosion is the worst enemy of any car. That is why this process will never be superfluous.
Generally car anti-corrosion treatment is not that difficult a task. If you have two hands, and you want to save your budget, then you can start doing it yourself. Thanks to the anti-corrosion treatment, you can protect: hidden cavities; welds; wheel arches; bottom and paintwork.
You will need anti-corrosion materials for processing. A large and reputable manufacturer of such, for example, is Chamaeleon. Most importantly, these materials do not affect human health and do not in any way change the appearance of the car. The anti-gravel material protects the paint-and-lacquer surface from the effects of sand and gravel. In general, all paint protection materials must be resistant to water and ultraviolet light, and must also contain corrosion inhibitors.
Before starting treatment, you need to remove all things that block access to the body surface (sound insulation, trunk mat, engine compartment, insulation). After that, I thoroughly wash the car from below on a lift with warm enough water under a pressure of sixty to one hundred atmospheres. Next, you should completely dry and wipe the machine. Now you can start analyzing defects. This includes checking the coating for various defects: scratches, chips, cracks. If they are found, they must be corrected. Inspection of the bottom of the machine is carried out in the raised state and with the wheels removed.
The time has come directly to the implementation of the process itself. First, the anti-corrosion material is applied to easily accessible places. In the hard-to-reach, the air atomization method is used under a pressure of eight atmospheres. The bottom can be treated with an airless spray gun or brush.
Anti-corrosion treatment should be carried out with some regularity, since experts say that the service life of modern anti-corrosion agents is from one to three years. In order not to spend twice as much later, it is better to be safe immediately. Every car owner should know and understand about this.
