 Hello Punchians,

Today I am going to talk about the 3M Underbody Anti Rust, Silencer, Internal Panel, Exterior Ceramic Coating & Interior Fabric Cleaning on Tata Punch which comes under Value Added Services.

You can do all this after completion of your 2 years warranty, especially ceramic coatings during monsoon you should really need to do anti rust and silencer coating.

Underbody Anti-Rust Protection : 

Why is Corrosion Protection Underbody Anti-Rust necessary?

Corrosion is Caused by Water/salt water, acid rain, and atmospheric fallouts.

Critical Areas are Cavities: joints, crevices, spot welds, underbody

Corrosion is the most important factor when we talk about vehicle life. If you treat your car well, you can prolong its life.

1. It is very dangerous to drive around in a corroded vehicle.
2. Corrosion creeps onto the vehicle internally and externally as well. The most dangerous kind of corrosion is often not discovered until it is too late.

A car’s underbody is exposed to the most wear and tear caused by muddy water, potholed roads, stones and other obstacles on the road. Because it’s not in plain sight, we often do not see the damage.

3M™ Underbody Treatments offers you a long term solution for issues related to corrosion and rust. First, the car under body is washed and degreased. Then, the 3M™ Protective Coat is applied with Body Schutz Gold Gun (5 year Warranty) or Undershield gun (2 year warranty). The 3M™ Body Schutz/Undershield, is a hard coating on the underbody of the car, that is fast-drying, paintable, rubberized, non-toxic and chip-resistant. It also minimizes sound from underneath the vehicle and insulates against the heat and cold.

The 3M™ Underbody Treatment protects the car underbody from rust, increasing the longevity of the car and thus enhancing its resale value.

Silencer Coating

The exposed surface of your silencer, under the car, brushes against bad roads, stones and is splashed with muddy water causing the silencer to rust and leak.

3M™ Silencer Coating Treatment provides a protective coating for silencers of all types of vehicles from corrosion and rust. The silencer washed and degreased before the 3M™ Protective Coat is applied with Body Schutz gold gun. The 3M™ Body Schutz/Undershield provides a hard coating on the underbody of the car that is fast-drying, paintable, rubberized, non-toxic and chip-resistant. The coating minimizes sound from underneath the vehicle and insulates against the heat and cold.

3M™ Silencer Coating Treatment increases the life of the silencer. The silencer also acquires diesel wash resistance and performs better at high temperatures.

Internal Panel Protection Treatment

Have you seen the internal door panels of your car? These internal metal surfaces are bare and often accumulate rust due to water seeping in from windows or penetrating from the lower end of the panels.

The 3M Internal Panel Protection Treatment is highly recommended for protecting your internal door panels from rust. 

The 3M™ Cavity Wax Plus is an effective interior corrosion prevention product that provided a coating that remains soft and keeps from cracking, chipping, or peeling off. The 3M™ Cavity Wax Plus Applicator Wand is used to evenly coat the door skins, rocker panels, running board, etc sealing the surfaces completely.

The 3M Internal Panel Protection Treatment prevents interior corrosion of automotive bare or primed metal surfaces providing consistent and uniform protection for your internal panels from corrosive elements.
