Corrosion, in prosecudio - rust - the enemy of any metal, and since the car mainly consists of metal, with corrosion it is necessary to fight. In this article. Tell motorists how to make anti-corrosion protection with your own hands.

Why do you need to make anti-corrosion car protection

If you want to save your iron friend for a long time in good condition - periodically perform additional anti-corrosion processing.

Manufacturers when assembling a car produce primer and body color, the bottom is covered with mastic, and protective compositions cover hidden cavities.

Responsible manufacturers can establish a warranty period to complete end-to-end body damage.

But all sorts of factory anti-corrosion treatments are capable of maintaining metal only from mechanical damage, it is desirable after purchasing a car to consult in the anti-corrosion center, and if you purchased a used machine - make a complete anti-corrosion processing, and then after a year or two again.

Of course, the entire volume of work depends on the conditions of operation of the machine, from the quality of factory protection, on the quality of the applied anti-corrosion preparations, etc.

And if the accident and replace or repair the body - you need to make a complete anti-corrosion protection of the car to avoid repairs.

What materials are used with anti-corrosion processing

Since the appointment of anti-corrosion materials is to prevent the appearance of rust on metal parts of the body, except for primers, varnish and enamel, it is necessary to use anti-growing coatings of the bottom and body, to preserve hidden cavities, use anti-corrosion processing for the inner surfaces of the wings of the car and the arches of the wheels.

By purchasing anti-corrosion coatings, it is necessary to pay attention to the operation of this material in a wide range of outdoor air temperature, humidity, for resistance to aggressive medium, etc.

When protecting your iron friend from corrosion, it is necessary to pay attention to the welds - they are also reliably and efficiently need to be treated with anti-corrosion protection.

Than protect the bottom of the car

There is a very high impact on the bottom of the car, aggressive reagents, abrasive effects and therefore anti-corrosion protection should create a protective film that should be thick, durable and elastic.

The protection is applied to the purified and pre-primed bottom surface, the composition of anti-corrosion protection often includes fine-dried aluminum powder and necessarily chemical corrosion retarders.

The protection of the bottom can be easily made in the conditions of the garage, in the presence of a viewing pit, you can protect with a simple brush.

The bituminous domestic MASTAST BPM was greater popularity - with a filling of rubber crumbs.

What to protect the arches of the wheels

Since the surface of the arches of the wheels is susceptible to a very strong abrasive wear - the arches of the wheels must be protected with high-quality anti-corrosion material.

Modern manufacturers have adjusted the release of a durable elastic material in the form of a liquid locker.

When applying a liquid locker on the arches of the wheels, a thick layer is created from this material, which is capable of protecting from the flow of wet mud, ice and stones.

You can insert plastic flaps in the arches of the wheels, they are called lockers or shoes.

But the "liquid locker" and plastic sneakers will reliably protect the arches of the wheels.

You can handle the arches of the wheels and the composition for the bottom, but it is necessary to apply it in two layers, also brush.

What to protect the hidden cavities of the car

Thresholds, racks, langers, all sorts of floor amplifiers and trunk lids, are hidden cavities.

And in these cavities can only be accessed through special holes, and sometimes you have to drill these holes themselves.

Since the holes, through which you can protect small, it requires a liquid consistency with corrosion inhibitors.

After applying liquid low-viscosity materials, and they have a high penetrating ability and are able to get into all the slots and joints, a half-having film is formed on the walls of the hidden cavities - it protects the surface from water.

To protect hidden cavities, Movil is widely used, it is produced in aerosol packages.

Anticorrosive processing stages

1. Produce car wash from below with hot water under water pressure to 100thm.

2. Automobile is dried within 15-30 minutes by blowing hot (up to 80 * C0 air.

3. Produce the inspection of the bottom of the car when the wheels shot.

4. Defects.

5. In hidden cavities, in the production of work in anti-corrosion centers,

the method of air spraying is supplied to the material in the mixture with air under pressure to 8thm. The protective dried film must have a thickness of 40 to 60 md.

6.Dine and wheeled arches are processed by airlessly, the dried protective film must have a thickness of 250 to 300 μR.

7.After processing, it is not recommended to use a car during the day, since anti-corrosion protection must be captured.

Making anti-corrosion processing with your own hands

If you have new parts on your car and there are welded seams, the welds are shut off with a sealant for welded seams.

The cheapest sealant is Body 999 - it perfectly sticks to the metal, is able to quickly dry even in the cold and does not miss moisture.

A mastic is applied on the sealant from above.

Thresholds, langers and racks are processed by a preservative Movil.
