The order of operations for protection of hidden cavities from corrosion:
1. Place the vehicle on a lift, remove any parts or trim that obstruct access to hidden cavities.
2. Wash with water at a temperature of 40-50°C through technological and drainage holes hidden cavities (Table 8-2), the bottom of the body, wheel arches until clean water flows out. In this case, the rotary windows should be closed, the drop-down windows - raised.
3. Remove any moisture that has entered the interior and trunk, blow out all hidden cavities and areas where anti-corrosion compounds have been applied with compressed air.
4. Drive the car to the anti-corrosion chamber and place it on a lift. Spray the anti-corrosion compound to the areas shown in Figures 8-6, 8-7 and 8-8. Perform the treatment at a temperature of at least plus 15°C.
