Due to the use of sophisticated technological equipment and the need for high-quality work, it is recommended to treat open cavities only at car service stations.

Cavity Corrosion Protection
1. Install the car on a lift, remove parts and upholstery that prevent access to hidden cavities.
2. Rinse with water at 40–50°C through the technological and drainage holes hidden cavities indicated in the table, the bottom of the body, wheel arches until clean water flows out. At the same time, the pivot windows must be closed, the lower ones must be raised.
3. Remove moisture that has entered the passenger compartment and trunk, blow out all hidden cavities and other places where anti-corrosion compounds are applied with compressed air.
4. Drive the car into the anti-corrosion spray booth and place it on a lift. Spray anti-corrosion compound in the places indicated in the figures (see fig. Hidden body cavities (bottom view), Hollow body (right side view) and fig. Hidden body cavities (left view)).
5. Lower the car from the lift, clean the front surfaces of the body from contamination with a rag soaked in white spirit.
