The inside of the side skirt of the car is not painted, so it is rusted rather than the outside after the sheet metal. The best way to prevent rust inside the side skirt is to paint it. When the car is new, fill the side skirts on both sides of the car with paint, and then discharge it. After the paint is dry, fill it again.

In the process of sheet metal repair, the side skirt needs to be welded at a high temperature, which will damage the anti-corrosion coating of the original iron sheet of the car. After the repair of sheet metal, anti-rust wax can be used for internal rust prevention.

 

  • Clean the inside of the side skirt before spraying to ensure that the metal surface is dry and oil-free;

 

  • Insert the long and thin spray pipe with rust-proof wax into the mounting hole on the vehicle body for spraying;

 

  • Spray the inside of the side skirt evenly.

 

The self-creeping property of antirust wax can be well sprayed to some relatively closed and narrow places; At the same time, the antirust wax has the characteristics of low-temperature resistance and high-temperature resistance, which can protect the metal well.
