a. thin (ML), for seams under the car.
b. thin (transparent) for visible pans.
c. thick, for parts on the underbody and wheel housing which experience most wear.
Parts of the car which may need to be touched up and the rustproofing compound recommended are:
visible welded seams and panel seams-(type b)
underbody and wheel housings-(type c)
hood-(type b)
door hinges-(type b)
hood hinges and locks-(type b).
After completion of all work on the vehicle, remove excess rustproofing compound with a cloth soaked
in kerosene.
The sheet metal surfaces of the engine compartment are protected by a transparent wax-based
rustproofing compound. The compound withstands normal washings without deterioration.
Mineral based solvents will, however, dissolve the compound, especially so if they contain emulgators.
In such cases the wax protection should be renewed.
