Protection Of The Vehicle: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Protect affected areas from weld spatter and dust during all welding and grinding work on the vehicle. If metallic dust stays on the vehicle for some time, there is the likelihood of film rust formation. Grinding produces tiny spots of damage to the paint surface, which may cause corrosion. Also use suitable protective measures to protect the interior when performing repair operations which relate to the inside of the vehicle.
For this reason, make sure to:
- Use carbon fiber blankets to protect the vehicle body and the interior.
- Use covering film to protect the vehicle body from grinding dust and metal dust.
- Use covering paper to protect the interior from grinding dust.
In addition, take into account:
- Remove fuel supply components as necessary.
- Protect working areas which are in danger of catching fire with a fireproof blanket.
- Keep heat away from all components of the air conditioning system.
- Remove all components in the space adjoining the repair area.
