jackso11 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just thought I would post incase anyone was thinkin about getting their car undersealled. I went to Rustmater near St Albans at the weekend and they undersealed/waxoyled my sup. Looks like new under there now! When I got the car back (took 4 hours) it looked perfect, drove home and then realised the entire car was covered in a very fine film of tar like stuff. The guy there had said if I find any on the car anywhere it would come off with white spirit. So I washed the entire car armed with white spirit, fairy liquid (to cut the white spirit off), car shampoo (to wash the fairy liquid off) and wax. End result was perfect looking car all over Garanteed for 5 years with free annual touch ups, I think it was worth it (£400), although they could have washed it after for me.

barneybrendan Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 been thinking of undersealing mine as its looking a bit tired and dry.Whats the best product to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 personally i think it makes a right mess and looks messy. a mix of oil and grease does the trick when brushed on components, and costs wayyyyyyyyyy less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Not a fan of shultz and stonechip alover my suspension, looks tacky. Shot blasted, powder coated with a layer of wax over the top looks miles better IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 shot blasted and powder coated the entire underneath of your car?? White spirit was only on for a few seconds, thats why I had the fairy liquid. Can't beed fairy for cutting spirits off anything, obviously then you need to wash the car properly and polish it. Paint wasn't effected. its white spirit not thinners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 i need mine doing but st albans is a tad far, anyone know of a good undersealer in notts area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 been thinking of undersealing mine as its looking a bit tired and dry.Whats the best product to use. For springs, shocks,brake lines , etc use Dinitrol -AV8 (SPRAY CAN) , for floors and chassis use POR15 - metal prep then top coat -box sections; metal prep then AV8 Both products dont come off clothing and take 3 or 4 days to get off your hands and hair - gloves ,overalls and and old hat/cap !!!

Kirk Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 shot blasted and powder coated the entire underneath of your car?? Oh not that extreme, I thought you was referring to the suspension and subframes To be honest i cant say rust is a major issue on the actual underbody of the car from what ive seen but that would the only place id use stonechip or shultz.

dandan Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I just finished doing the underside and wheelarches on mine with U-POL Raptor bed liner as recommended by someone on here. It took a lot longer than four hours (mainly due to all the cleaning and prep work beforehand) but was worth it and it looks very neat. It is quite hard (compared to an "underseal") and extremely tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 It always quicker when you have the expert tools though. Power washer and a massive dryer, and different shaped lances for spraying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 U-POL Raptor bed liner as recommended by someone on here I swear by that stuff for underbody and inside wheel arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It always quicker when you have the expert tools though. Power washer and a massive dryer, and different shaped lances for spraying. I scrubbed the underside of the whole car with various brushes and soaps before doing any real prep work - that's what took the time. I swear by that stuff for underbody and inside wheel arches. I'd recommend it to anyone now, thank mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I just drive at speed through a deep puddle once year, that gets the worst of the cow muck off the underside. A quick rub along an overgrown hedge at about 20 MPH does the body sides, and who looks at the roof anyway... I'll have you know cleaning cars is against my religion!
