Review of the best anti-gravels in 2020

Modern car owners try to protect their car from damage by any means. One of these methods is the use of anti-gravel. After all, even small stones that fly out from under the wheels in the process of movement cause a lot of trouble to the car, scratching its coating. Thus, the paint peels off on the surface and corrosion appears, which corrodes the metal. Moreover, modern roads want the best and, naturally, you have to look for a reliable protective device. This will help the rating of the best anti-gravels in 2020, which will be discussed in our article.

What is anti-gravel

All motorists know that the outer sides of the sill, the bottom of the doors and the walls of the car, especially under the bumper, are subject to mechanical damage. Most often, the car is covered with a protective substance only on the bottom or in the wheel arches. The rest of the car is only painted, which is a gross mistake. Anti-gravel should be applied wherever the machine is hit by sand, gravel or stones.

The product can be applied in two ways:

• By spraying with an aerosol or using a pistol;
• Application of the substance by brush or roller.

The substance applied to the surface of the car forms a matte film after drying. Aerosol substances perfectly retain their structure, despite the temperature drop. Thus, the life of the vehicle is significantly extended. Such a film will protect the car from both mechanical damage and corrosion. Some products are recommended to be applied in several layers. But at the same time, you need to wait so that the previous layer has time to dry completely.

The anti-gravel substance has several functions:

1. Strengthens vibration and noise isolation;
2. Eliminates cracks and scratches, thereby strengthening the surface tightness;
3. Protects the vehicle from corrosion, surface exposure to salt and acids, moisture, dirt and stones.

The substance is divided into several types:

• With different textures - smooth and textured;
• Allows you to carry out the staining procedure;
• For use only on certain parts.

In addition, there are three types of anti-gravel:

1. In the form of a spray in cylinders. This substance forms a very thin film. Because of this, it must be applied to the surface in several layers.
2. A product made in such a way that it can be applied with a pistol. The downside of such a substance is that sometimes it needs to be diluted with a solvent. In addition, working with such anti-gravel requires professionalism.
3. Antigravel in banks. It is applied to the surface with a brush or roller. However, it is as popular as the other two types.

How to use anti-gravel correctly

Before you start working with the substance, you must carefully prepare the surface of the car. To do this, perform the following actions:

1. Clean rusty areas;
2. Thoroughly wash the surface and completely degrease;
3. Remove the varnish and putty;
4. An exception is the aerosol-type substance, since it cannot be applied to a smooth surface.

Anti-gravel is applied (in a can) as follows:

1. After reading the instructions, the motorist gets to work;
2. The surface to be coated with the substance must be primed;
3. The adjacent areas are covered with tape;
4. Shake the can to distribute the liquid evenly;
5. The content is sprayed from a distance of 25 centimeters from the work surface and the mixture must be covered with tape so that the border between the areas is completely covered;
6. If necessary, the product is applied in several layers to create a film of the desired thickness;
7. The product is allowed to dry, after which, if possible, the surface is covered with paint.

It should be noted that anti-gravel perfectly protects the surface from mechanical damage, corrosion and at the same time creates a beautiful, aesthetic appearance of the car even without painting. On the other hand, the fact that the agent is applied to the surface very easily and simply completely smoothes out all sorts of imperfections of the top layer of the coating, which may have a grainy surface when drying.

It is very important to pay attention to the shelf life of the mixture, since the quality of its protection after application depends on this indicator.
