What happens here
Before applying the undercoating, thoroughly clean the wheel well area of the vehicle. Remove any dirt, grime, loose rust, or debris using a degreaser if necessary, then rinse with a water hose and allow to dry completely. Once clean and dry, use masking paper and painter's tape to meticulously mask off all surrounding body panels, suspension components, and the tire to protect them from overspray. Ensure good ventilation by working outdoors or in a well-ventilated garage.
