[ROVERNET - UK] P5 MK 2 question

Sat Nov 26 18:15:56 GMT 2005

Hi All,

I am working on my P5 MK2 and dealing with a repaint done awhile ago. I am
wondering about the back wing beads
on top of the fender. Are they suppose to be painted OR are they suppose to
be chrome.
I scraped some of the paint off and it looked like they may have been
chromed at one time.

I am trying to decide if I should remove the wings for repaint or not and if
these were chromed then that clinch's it for me.
By the way do I need to remove the wing to remove the bead????

Thanks
For the reply
Dirk

Some thoughts re. recent discussions, which brand name to use and how to
do it.

There are a number of such products, based on oil or wax. It is a big
thing on the Danish market, so I can think of/choose between

Dinitrol (alias Tuff-Kote Dinol, Pyrmo, and Proflex)
http://www.dinitrol.com/
Waxoyl http://www.waxoyl.com/
Mercasol http://www.geveko-industri.com/aspx_eng/i_1_hem.aspx
Tectyl http://tectyl.valvolineeurope.com/index.asp
Teroson http://www.teroson.de
Carlofon http://ww.carlofon.de
and local brands
Pava http://www.pava.dk/
Tektrol http://www.tektrol.dk/

It will be hard to find a place in the country where the nearest
specialist center is more than 5 miles away.

All is easily available in aerosol (amateur/touch up), threaded bottles,
pots or drums.

I would normally go for the bottles, as they screw directly on an air gun.

In English it is normally called underbody seal/protection. In fact the
germans use a much more precise word for this: hohlraumshutz = Cavity
Protection.

That is what it is all about: A car rusts from the cavities and the
welding seams. Getting a penetrating oil/wax in to close and protect
these places is the vital job.

Visible seams can be protected with a brush or with a brush equipped oil
can.

As to effect of each product and compatibility between them, these are
my general obeservations:
- The international market leaders tend to claim their product can be
applied over any other thing, but subsequent application of anything
else is outside limits of warranty etc.
- Smaller brands tend to be more liberal claiming more general
application terms "oil/wax based penetrating product", "oil/wax based
wear protection".

Seems to be like petrol/gasoline: Some customers prefer Shell, some
prefer Exxon, yet others simply go by the price and octane rating.

I have placed this text with more to come on http://xoz.dk/ahl/auto/cavity

Translation is from Danish as to my best effort. Any remarks or
linguistic improvements, particularly as to technical terms will be most
appreciated.

Hi Anders:

Since my Grandmother was Danish, I should completely understand your
instructions, but theres just one question.  What are "interior mudguards"?
Please don't take after me like my Grandmother did with
her "dootkee"!

Appreciate your sharing your knowledge with the Rover people.

Sincerely,

Peter Millers
Arlington, Wa.

"Interior mudguards": As I did not know the correct term, I took the one
used by the primary vendor, Lokari of Finland
http://www.lokari.fi/?s=t_sisalokasuojat&l=eng

Such are inner, underside coverings for the mudguards/wings/wheelarches.
They used to be made in aluminium, covering only the wear surfaces. For
newer cars they are made in plastic giving a full covering.

There are pictures on http://www.lokari.de/en/innenkotfluegel.php
and better ones on http://www.inderskaerme.dk/

The last one is in Danish, but shows original felt ones being replaced
with much more protecting plastic ones. Each felt one absorbs some 2
kg/4 pounds of water in rainy weather.

Let that be salt water during a couple of Danish or Scottish winter
months and you have a prime rust area.
