2. RUST PREVENTIVE PROCEDURE
2–1. GENERAL INFORMATION
.
Corrosion starts immediately after the steel base con-
tacts the atmosphere. The condition is aggravated by
sea wind, road salt, rain, snow and industrial fallout.
There are many ways to protect automobiles against
corrosion. Primers, primer surfacers and paints are ap-
plied by electrodeposition or spray to protect the car
body.Anti–rust Agents and Spray Guns
Use the following anti–rust agents or equivalents when
making a body repair.
.
CAUTION : ANTI–RUST agents contain substances
that are harmful if you breathe or swallow them, or get
them on your skin. Wear converalls, gloves, eye
protection, and an approved respirator while using
such agents.

Precautions:
.
1. Before applying an anti–rust agent, thoroughly clean
the areas to be coated with a steam cleaner, etc., and
let dry.
.
Note : Waxoyl may be applied to wet surface.
.
2. Spray an anti–rust agent sufficiently until the excess
amount oozes out when filling, the doors, etc. Wipe the
excess agent with a clean rag dampened with light oil.
.
3. Do not spray an anti–rust agent to the brake hoses,
brake wheel cylinders, brake drums, exhaust muffler
and its related parts, emission control devices in the en-
gine compartment, ball joint covers, etc. Wipe up spilled
agent at once.
.4. Heat an anti–rust agent to room temperature[36.5
C
(97.7
F)] by submerging the container in hot water
when outside temperature is below 10
C(50
F).
.
5. Ventilate when spraying an anti–rust agent since it
contains a small amount of organic solvent. Keep
sparks, flames and cigarettes away.
.
CAUTION : The remaining agent will harden in the
passages of the spray gun, making them unservice-
able.
