Those who have to repair damages caused by an accident, or hidden rust, have to apply thick layers of paint or body filler. The electronic-magnetic sensor in Crash Check quickly detects whether the coating on the sheet-steel body is thicker than it was in the original state. This way you can detect efforts to cover suspicious sections.
Procedure
- Place the Crash Check on the surface of the body and press the test button. The electromagnetic sensor shows you coating and subsurface condition at a glance.
- Green indicates the paint is of normal thickness
- Yellow indicates the paint is thicker than usual
- Red indicates a warning, sever irregularities in the car body, body filler, accident or rusts.
- Gauges for North America are set to go from Green to Yellow at the 5 mil mark. The Yellow to Red threshold is at the 17 mil mark. Tolerance for this gage is ±1 mil (0.001”).
