Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: Anti-corrosive Treatment
Anti-corrosive treatment may be performed on three different occasions (before welding, before painting, and after painting). This section explains anti-corrosive treatment for the latter two occasions.
(1) ANTI-CORROSIVE TREATMENT BEFORE PAINTING
Application of body sealer
Body sealer prevents water or mud from entering through the mating surface of the panel. It also prevents formation of corrosion. The sealer nozzle hole should be small. Use a finger or brush to shape the applied sealer. Refer to the Body Repair Manual for body sealer application points.
Application of undercoating:
Apply undercoating to the underbody and inside of wheelhouse. Do not apply it to the exhaust pipe, suspension or driving portions. Use approved products 3M Cavity Wax Plus 08852 Anti-Corrosion Spray 18oz aerosol 4 08851 Applicator Wand Kit 8", 24" and 34" tubes.
(2) ANTI-CORROSIVE WAX AFTER PAINTING
