Save Money on Car Payments: Undercoat Your Own Vehicle
Summary
Undercoating is essential for preventing rust and maintaining your car’s appearance, especially if you plan to keep your vehicle for several years. By doing it yourself, you save money and protect your car’s body from corrosion.
---
Why Undercoat?
Undercoating adds a layer of protection against rust, which can damage the fender and car body. It also helps reduce squeaks and rattles by filling metal cracks and crevices. While dealerships often charge extra for this service, you can easily do it yourself at a fraction of the cost.
Benefits for Any Car
Undercoating isn't just for new cars; it's beneficial for vehicles of any age. It helps prevent further rust development on older cars, making it a worthwhile investment.
Before You Start
Before applying undercoating, ensure your car is clean and free of rust. Any existing rust should be completely removed, as it will continue to cause damage if left untreated. A shiny metal surface is key.
Cleaning Tips
Steam cleaning is ideal for preparing your car, but if that's not an option, try using Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP). Available at most hardware stores, TSP is an effective degreaser. Mix it with hot water and apply with a sponge or cloth to remove grime. A wire brush can also help.
Application Process
Be mindful of where you apply the undercoating. Avoid coating moving parts, oil pans, brake lines, mufflers, tailpipes, and drive shafts. Focus on applying it generously under the fender, sills, and floor. To reach under the fenders, you’ll need to remove the wheels. For safety, remove only one wheel at a time unless you have a stable support system.
Safety Precautions
Many undercoating products are flammable when wet, so ensure you work in a well-ventilated area and steer clear of smoking or open flames.
Conclusion
A little prevention goes a long way in protecting your vehicle. By undercoating your own car, you avoid extra dealership fees and keep your car in great condition for years to come. Remember, when it comes to protecting against rust, an ounce of prevention truly is worth a pound of cure.
