Technical Information Cavity Protection

Technical Information Cavity Protection

presto Cavity Protection on basis of wax effectively protects vehicle bodywork cavities particularly susceptible to rust such as doors, side panels, boot lids, bonnets etc. Rust can be prevented if applied regularly with a thin coat being enough to protect metal.

The aromatic free sealer has excellent water repellent and penetration properties. Once applied, a light sticky film appears with self-regenerating properties that can also be used to protect the engine compartment. In addition the typical smell associated with conventional waxes, once the coat has been heated by the sun or the engine, is not present.

Available in 500ml spray can and 1 litre spray gun can.

  • Protect surrounding area carefully from spray mist.
  • Recommended spray distance: approx. 30 cm.
  • Shake can before use for approx. 2 minutes, and from time to time during use.
  • Generously apply presto cavity protection.
  • After use, turn can upside-down and spray the valve empty.


Application spray gun can:

  • The product is ready-to-use, no thinner necessary.
  • Clean the spray gun with white spirit

Tips for spray painting

Protect the object and the surrounding area from spray mist. When painting small areas it is recommended that a piece of card is used as a mask, with a hole cut in it slightly larger than the area to be sprayed. The mask should be held 1 to 2 cm from the surface. With this method, the mainly part of the spray mist is brought under control. It recommends to mask parts not to be lacquered, to protect the surrounding against the spray mist.

The aerosol can should have room temperature.

Temperature should range between +10°C and +25°C, max. air humidity 60 %.

Store in a dry place. Protect from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Use only during dry weather, in places protected from the wind, and in well-ventilated rooms. Follow the warning texts on the labels!
