Thinking of getting the cossie under sealed is there any company's that do it if so what sort of price will I be looking at or should I do it myself if so why stuff do I want to go for baring in mind I use this car rain shine or snow so guessing I won't want wax oil as its always wet/soft

You can buy undersea with wax oil in it I bought it from halfords and jacked car up put it on axle stands put some overalls on and got medieval with a paint brush its a messy job but really makes a difference I then took the bumpers off and got a cheap garden fence sprayer and mixed a 5 gallon tin of waxoil with parafin and sprayed it down the chassis legs and the sills hope this helps

what i tend to find is tho when you come to take it off for say an underside resto you tend to find nothing but rusty steel that the underseal has been holding together!
i find the best combo is stonechip then basecoat and 2k laquer gives that concourse look too lol
failing that just sme waxoil as the fact it stays soft is what protects you from styonechips plus it actually converts mild rust back to a stable form of steel

So people think wax oil is the way forward would you jet wash the underside of the car 1st then leave it a day or so to dry and do you just slap it over the old stone chip or try scraping it all of also what don't you put it on/over ie fuel lines wish bones tank etc

i would get the car properly pressure washed/steam cleaned underneath with an industrial washer not a car wash type and then go from there so long as the car is sound underneath i would re stonegaurd any places where it has been removed/loosened then just apply the waxoil, as mentioned above do the floor, chassis legs, inside doors and rear quarters etc its well worth it mate

In either last months or the months before issue of PPC, Practical Performance Car they did a feature on a company specialising in this very thing, well worth getting a copy.
