Hammerite Metal Care at MyToolShed.co.uk

Hammerite Metal Care covers rust treatment and underbody protection for vehicles, trailers, gates, railings and other metalwork. The products are designed to stop corrosion where it has started and to guard against it in the places most exposed to water, road salt and stone damage.

The selection includes Hammerite No.1 Rustbeater for treating rusted ferrous metal, plus underbody seals, stonechip protection and Waxoyl products for longer-term vehicle care. It suits DIY restorers, home maintenance and workshop use.

Hammerite Metal Care Features and Benefits

• 3-in-1 rust treatment: Rustbeater kills rust, primes and undercoats in one application, which cuts down preparation time.
• High-build formula: It works on heavily pitted areas and helps prevent new corrosion from forming.
• Topcoat compatibility: It is compatible with most topcoats, so you can finish in the colour and sheen the job needs.
• Underbody sealing: Underbody seals form a protective layer on wheel arches, sills and chassis areas that take a lot of abuse.
• Stonechip resistance: Stonechip Shield helps protect paintwork and panels from flying grit and debris.
• Wax-based protection: Waxoyl products help protect hidden cavities and underside areas, and the pressure sprayer makes application easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply Hammerite No.1 Rustbeater directly to rust?

Yes, it is designed for application to rusted ferrous metal and acts as rust killer, primer and undercoat in one. Remove loose, flaking rust first and always follow the instructions on the tin. Once cured, you can overcoat with most topcoats.

Which product should I choose for underbody protection?

For larger areas such as the underside of a vehicle, an underbody seal in a tin or Schutz format is a sensible choice. For stone damage on panels and arches, Stonechip Shield suits the job. Waxoyl is a good fit for wax-based protection, particularly with the pressure sprayer for easier coverage.
