Guest Scotty 88 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hey guys! Quick question but does anybody know where's the best place to get the supra underseal in Scotland ??? Just don't want the rust to get hold of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Why don't you get it up in the air and do it yourself? It'd not that hard. I did parts of mine this weekend. Top tip though is to wear some protective eyewer as undeseal in the eye isn't pleasant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scotty 88 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I thought about it but I only have small car ramps plus the only garage I trust is closed for a a wee while now yea I've heard it's not the best thing to get in your eye, how did you get on with your car?

tony tt Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Any decent garage should be able to do it bud. It's not a hard job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hire a ramp for an hour. Most independent garages will let you do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 What does the underside of your Sup currently look like, out of curiosity? You can cover the large areas of the underside with a brush and some underseal, but to do the job correctly and to get into the box sections and hard to reach areas, you ideally need a wand attachment. Also have a read online at the different treatment techniques and products which you can use to treat the underside before the underseal is applied, as otherwise you are merely locking in the rust, which will no doubt lead to more serious corrosion.

Guest Scotty 88 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The condition is good for its age (21 years old ) there's slight signs of rust, I looked at different products and Schutz, Dinitrol and Carplan kept coming up I rather attack it ASAP before it gets worse and have to start welding but rather get it sort out soon, yea that's right if you look it in then more damage than good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I had the front of my car up on axle stands so I could straighten out the seem tha gets flattened when people use a trolley jack inthe factory jacking locations and so decided to apply a couple of coats of underbody to along these areas, but last year when I had the car on 4 axle stands I got my exto do the whole of the underside. If she could do it anyone can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 She wasn't the ex at the time, lol. I've got 2 tins here but not sure what I usd last year. I think it might have been Hammerite Underbody Seal with Added Wax Oil. I also havea tin of Carplan Tretroseal Underbody Sealant, which is the one I used this weekend.

j_jza80 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If you've already got signs of rust, get it to a professional to sort out. Even if that means traveling. Anyone who has dealt with classic cars before will know the issues incorrect application of under seal can cause. As has been mentioned, if you trap moisture in there, you'll end up with a rotten floor pan eventually. This is why it is also important to get underseal removed and replaced once it starts showing signs of flaking and cracking. I'd also look into cavity wax application too.

Ric Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 You need to make sure underneath the car is BONE dry first, otherwise you are just sealing over moisture. I had mine done after it had been in the bodyshop for almost 2 months and a week in the oven, so no traces of damp or wet, hopefully.

If there is rust, the rust needs to be removed with sandblasting and painted before underseal can be applied. Proper underseal treatment cant be done in an hour on ramps. Here's a video how you properly underseal a car: Edited August 26, 2014 by Krister (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
