Product Information

Full details

The Autotek Stone Black Guard is for vehicle owners and professional detailers seeking to protect lower body panels from chips and corrosion. Its key benefit is a highly flexible, rubberized coating that provides robust defense against stone chip damage and minor scratches. A potential caveat is its specialized application for body panels, not general paint touch-ups. This 500ml aerosol spray delivers a professional finish, safeguarding sills, valances, and other exposed areas.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of Autotek Stone Black Guard?

Its primary purpose is to protect automotive sills, valances, and other lower body panels against stone chip damage and corrosion from minor scratches.

Can this be used on the entire car body?

No, it is specifically designed for lower body panels like sills and valances. It provides a rubberised protective coating and is not intended as a general paint finish for the entire vehicle.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. It is recommended to follow the specific drying instructions on the product can, typically allowing for touch-dry periods and full curing times between coats and before exposure to the elements.

Is the finish glossy or matte?

The finish is a rubberised coating that provides a professional, typically matte or satin, protective layer rather than a glossy paint finish.

Can I paint over this product once it's dry?

While it is a protective coating, it is not typically designed as a primer for subsequent paint layers. Its purpose is to be the final protective layer on the underbody components.

What is the container size?

The container size is 500ml.

How should I prepare the surface before application?

The surface must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, dirt, rust, and loose paint. Proper preparation is crucial for adhesion and durability.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Ensure the can is adequately shaken. Clear the nozzle by spraying upside down for a few seconds after use. If the nozzle is blocked, try cleaning it with a suitable solvent or replace the can.

Coating appears too thick or is running

Apply in thinner coats. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface and avoid over-application. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Product not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly prepared: clean, dry, and free of grease, rust, or old, loose paint. Re-prep the area and reapply.

Orange peel texture is too pronounced

Adjust the spray distance and speed of application. For a smoother finish, apply lighter coats from a slightly further distance. Ensure consistent movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively protects against stone chip damage.
  • Provides a good defense against corrosion.
  • The rubberized coating remains flexible.
  • Offers a professional and unobtrusive finish.
  • Simple to apply using the aerosol can.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for specific body panels (sills, valances).
  • Not intended as a general-purpose paint.
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results.
  • Color is specifically black; may not match all vehicle undercarriages.
  • Aerosol application can be difficult in tight or intricate areas without overspray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from grease and loose paint.
  2. Mask off any surrounding areas that should not be coated.
  3. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use.
  4. Hold the can approximately 20-30cm from the surface.
  5. Apply in thin, even coats. Multiple light coats are better than one heavy coat.
  6. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per product instructions.

Compatibility:

This product is designed for use on metal and suitably primed plastic automotive body panels, including sills, valances, and lower body sections. It is not intended for use on engine components or exhaust systems.

Care:

Once cured, the rubberised coating is durable. Clean the treated areas with standard automotive cleaning products. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the coated area for extended periods, which could potentially damage the coating.
