Anyone used 3M underbody sealer?

As above really, Just looking on their site, and found this stuff.

Apparently it is a very close match to what car manufacturers use on new cars.

I intend to strip down only affected parts (rust and whatnot etc) and clean the other parts, then totally cover the underside in the stuff.

Any info?

Cool, any info on it would be great

Very surprised at 3M's range

They do medical stuff aswell which i never knew.

Looks very 'mess free' in the picture, i bet its a right pig in real life though

Just use stoneguard,we do all the time,available anywhere.3m stuff is good,but expensive.also their mopheads for compounding/polishing are total shite,last about five minutes compared to the faracela product.
