The cavity preservation with wax already performed at the factory completes the corrosion prevention measures.
No repetition of this preservation work is necessary.
Repair preservation
After accident repair spray cavities with wax in machined areas. When replacing detachable body components, e.g. front fender, engine hood, doors, trunk lid as well as during welding, riveting and soldering work, also perform repair preservation.
Always apply repair preservation agent twice with a drying time of 5 minutes in between.
After drying, ensure that drain holes are not plugged.
It is important that the wax preservation agent is applied following sealing and paintwork, however, before assembly. Otherwise paint damage can occur or installation parts can be soiled with wax.
Also apply preservation agent to replacement bodies twice after they have been painted.
Replacement body shells top-coated in the factory have already been treated with the standard cavity preservation.
Processing instructions
The processing temperature for the wax should not be less than +15 °C
The cavities should be dry for preservation. Before starting preservation work, check spray pattern of spraying hose or spray can.
The wax must spray uniformly from the openings in a circular pattern.
Particularly advantageous are nozzles which spray toward the front as well as at an angle toward the rear.
The spraying hose of the hand-held lance must be "stiff". Hoses that tend to roll up are not suitable.
When preserving, insert spraying hose as far as possible to all sides in the hollow cavities. Spray while slowly inserting and pulling out hose.
Clean spray nozzle and spray hose together with spray equipment.
