Before injecting a protective compound, make sure that the cavities to be treated are free of dirt and foreign matter. If necessary, clean the cavities of debris.
The protective composition should be applied after touching up and before installing any decorative and overhead elements.
During processing, make sure that the protective compound covers all flanges and joints and that it is applied to all repaired places, both old and newly installed panels.
It should be noted that new panels and body assemblies are supplied without internal cavity treatment by mastic injection. Ensure that these cavities are re-treated after repair.
Reliable processing of cavities is very important. Always observe the following rules:
- Finish all touch-up operations before applying protective composition.
- Check the spray cone shape of the cavity treatment equipment.
- Cover all surfaces that are not to be treated with a protective compound.
- If there is a risk of contamination with protective compound when spraying, remove items such as retractable seat belt reels.
- Close the windows completely before working on the inside of the doors.
- Treat areas of the body that are usually covered by overlays before installing these elements.
- Clean the drainage holes of the thresholds and doors after treatment with a protective compound.
- Keep all equipment clean, especially spray nozzles.
