Default Thinking of undersealing my old Tub

The cars only been out a few times since being painted and its a fcuking nightmare to keep the underneath clean.

I don't ever plan on selling it (not unless i have too )

and i don't plan on showing it, so perhaps to prolong its life as much as possible i should underseal it. And then start really enjoying it.

I was gonna paint mine mate. I had spent hours and hours removing the Waxoyl with petrol etc, then when i got 90% of it off, i thought WTF am i doing? I aont a bufty so whats the point! It is now re waxoyled .

Look at it this way, at least YOU know how mint the floor is underneath the waxoyl, and have photos incase ya sell! Do it with the clear waxoyl so it will still look ok

guy in the paintshop told me you shouldn't bother doing the underside with waxoyl or anything, they rust from the inside out.

I asked him to do my car, he told me not to bother and if you really want it don't rust, take out the seats, carpet, .... and start cleaning / painting.

The inside is as mint as the outside, the car was painted from a bare shell inside and out.

The inside had about 10ltrs of waxoil in the cavities so that should keep that at bay.

Lee, do you have any pics of the underneath of yours after waxoyling?

I was thinking more of propper black underseal rather than waxoyl.
