1K0513425D Volkswagen protective

This stuff is basically a rubberized coating. It’s designed to shield your coil springs and strut bodies from road salt, water, dirt, and just general grime. It also helps dampen vibrations a little bit, reducing noise. It doesn't add any performance benefits beyond that, it's purely about protection and comfort. Think of your springs and struts as the parts that really absorb the bumps in the road. Because they’re constantly moving and exposed to everything kicked up from the tires, they’re really prone to rust and corrosion. This coating goes right onto those components—clean them up, spray it on—and it creates a barrier. It's like a shield against the elements. It's mostly used on vehicles driven in areas with harsh winters or near the ocean where salt air is a problem. Rust on your springs and struts isn't just cosmetic. It weakens the metal over time, and eventually those parts can fail. Replacing struts and springs can get expensive quickly. This coating is preventative maintenance—it extends the life of those components. You’ll notice if your springs start to rust severely—it’ll be visible, and you might hear some squeaking or clunking sounds when you go over bumps. You can find this coating at places like Fixparts Online and it’s something a lot of people do when they're doing other suspension work, just to give everything a little extra protection. It's one of those things that's nice to have, especially if you plan on keeping the vehicle for a long time. Trusted brand, trusted warranty: Protective Coating (MPN 1K0513425D) has a 12-month guarantee!
