I couldn't say it better my self, it gets used . It can be a pain to clean the under neath but after so much work it would be a shame not to.

Out of interest, just how much effort does it take to keep the underside clean? Is a simple snow foam / jet wash and degrease of the underside enough to keep it clean. Or do you have to lie underneath it for hours with a sponge etc?

Ah no mate, only wax oil certain areas really, too much hard work cleaning it up when you innevitably break something and want to remove it

Cool - pretty easy then
Johny - why do you use WD40 as opposed to snow foam? Never heard of it being used to clean the underside of cars before
?

Try it mate, leave on for a while and it eats through everything and after wiping down, gives a nice thin layers of protection from corrosion. Good stuff, cheap and cheerful

Cool - I think I'll give it a go during the summer once I've given the underside of mine a really thorough clean. Is GT85 ok to use, its similar to WD40?

But you own GT85 and don't own WD40
Nice 3 door btw, I'd paint the wheels diamond white as they do stand out a bit. It looks lovely!
