41 00... Corrosion Protection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 BMW M3, 2010 BMW M3, 2009 BMW M3, and 2008 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Following repairs, the corrosion protection work already begins with the correct removal of the PVC undercoating, anti-drumming layer and seam seals.
The PRODUCTS RECOMMENDED by BMW are optimized with regard to corrosion protection.

1.0 Removing and applying sealing materials

2.0 Cavity preservation of sheet-metal parts

Carry out cavity preservation after all body repairs.

Concluding cavity preservation is the most important part of all corrosion protection measures.

Use the cavity protection spray only for smaller-scale straightening work where the parts in question are easily accessible. Use the Vaupel PRESSURE CUP GUN for all other repairs. Cavity protection agent is available in different container sizes.

Use the relevant probes with tubes for the different cavity areas.

IMPORTANT: Incorrectly performed cavity protection can, especially in the case of steel/aluminum joints, give rise to a non-calculable product liability and safety risk.

The best repair is worth nothing if the subsequent cavity protection measures are not conscientiously carried out.
