Rust and corrosion can be found in cavities of the car body and other metal structures. A clear diagnosis and Fertan products can help to fix the problem.

Rust and corrosion can be found in cavities of the car body and other metal structures. In order to get rid of it and prevent it from happening again, we need to understand why it happened in the first place. Only with a clear diagnosis will we be able to take action and fix
the problem.

If you want to clean and derust the box sections of a car, it is only possible if all the cavities are opened up. This means that the welds will also have to be repaired, which creates new problems because the new welds are unprotected.

Sealing an already-rusted box section using protection like paint or underseal will not stop the rust from continuing to damage the metal. In fact, it will just trap the rust and the damaging chemicals inside, making the problem worse in the long run. You need to remove the rust and the damaging chemicals from the car body before you do anything else.

Rust removal from brake discs and brake drums and coating of brakes with Fertan's FeDOGEL.

Mechanical pre-cleaning of brake disc/drum

WARNING: Wear protective goggles, gloves, clothing while working.

Clean the brake disc/drum with brake cleaner.

Remove the remaining rust with FeDOGEL and wash off with water.

Cover the front surface to prevent contact corrosion, depending on the metal of the rim and hub, and grease lightly before mounting the wheel.

Coat brake disc/drum with MM30 Multi Metal coating in crosswise direction, cover friction surface.

FERTAN Rust Converter is applied to clean chassis while it is still wet, by means of a spray gun or possibly by underbody gun.

After cleaning oil and degreasing, treat all critical areas on the subfloor with FERTAN Rust Converter.

Make sure the FERTAN Rust Converter is applied properly into overlaps, sheet metal couplings, frame connections etc.

Remove spring elements and open or closed body areas, such as tail lights, turn signals, etc. and also insert FERTAN into open frame openings for complete derusting.

After a reaction time of at least 24 hours ( 20° C ) or at the latest after 6 months, rinse thoroughly with water.

If the car is to be painted on the underbody, at first prime it and then paint it.

If the vehicle is only used for exhibition purposes, this is sufficient, but if it is used, even if only during the summer months and in good weather, an additional light and transparent protection should be applied to the paint.
Apply a thin layer of UBS 240 to the wheel arches and also to the lower floor plate. This is then water-repellent and protects against light stone chips, etc. For optical reasons, apply the layer very thin ( ! ) with the spray can and let it dry for 1 – 2 days.
