With today’s ever evolving substrates being used in automotive construction, industry organizations and OEMs alike specify the use of cavity wax to prevent corrosion. 3M™ Inner Cavity Waxes (amber or transparent) are a simple and effective way to ensure corrosion protection, one of the most important parts of automotive repairs.
Non-hardening corrosion protection in a convenient aerosol can (for accessible areas) or 1 ltr (to be used with applicator for internal cavities).
Most OEMs call for the use of a corrosion protection product during vehicle repair.
Cavity Wax is:
Cavity Wax is Applied to:
Use Inner Cavity Wax with any repair or replacement part, where you had structural components replaced or welded in.
After replacing the components and prior to final assembly, determine the area requiring cavity wax application.
Internal areas of body panel should be considered (also see OEM recommendations).
Shake the can well (ca. 1 min)
If you are applying cavity wax to accessible areas, you can use the aerosol version - make sure that you apply a sufficient layer (or more than one) and spray it overlapping by 50% to assure appropriate coat coverage.
Once finished using cavity wax, clean your equipment or spray the nozzle clean (aerosol), holding the can upside down, so that you can achieve a proper performance next time you want to use it.
After application, remove any excess material from the panels. Wipe the surfaces clean by using a compliant cleaner, then reassemble the repair parts.
