Preparation and anti-corrosion treatment of hidden cavities of the body (Opel Astra J)

Due to the use of complex technological equipment and the need for high-quality work, it is recommended that the treatment of hidden cavities be performed only at vehicle service stations.

The order of operations for protection of hidden cavities from corrosion is as follows:

• place the car on a lift, remove parts and upholstery that prevent access to hidden cavities;
• wash with water at a temperature of 40–50°C through technological and drainage holes, hidden cavities and the bottom of the body until clean water flows out. The door windows must be raised;
• remove moisture that has entered the interior and trunk, blow out all areas where anti-corrosion compounds have been applied with compressed air;
• drive the car into the anti-corrosion chamber and place it on a lift. Spray the anti-corrosion compound;
• lower the car from the lift, clean the outer body panels from dirt with a rag soaked in white spirit.
