uzzyuzzy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hi Had the car on a ramp recently and noticed some rust patches nothing serious. I am wanting to get the car under sealed and was wondering if there's any good places with whom I can leave the Supra without worrying about damage and mileage being put on the car? What steps are involved to under seal? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 If you get in touch with the UK agents for the likes of Birth Amber, Waxoyl etc, they will recommend you local people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_24 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hey bud, whifbitz did my underseal and did a good job to. They are London based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Undersealing over existing rust is utterly pointless. in fact undersealing a used car, in mid winter is utterly pointless, unless a friendly bodyshop will let you give them a lot of cash to leave it in the paint booth for a few days, with the heat on. Then you need to get it to the undersealers without it getting damp again. Also, bear in mind many people, myself included, are highly suspicious of freshly undersealed old cars.

Isn't that why many people use waxoyl type products instead of the thicker 'stonechip' ones? The newer waxoyl is supposed to displace any moisture when it is applied, and treat existing minor rust. Saying that, I still had mine done in summer to avoid any potential complications. And I went with waxoyl, because I have seen the horrors of when moisture gets trapped under thick underseal.

kevin smith Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 This thread reminded my of my second job, I used rust proof and underseal brand new Datsons and other new cars of that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzzyuzzy Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Is this a fair price? Quote " The price for the full Waxoyl treatment would be £440 inc vat. We prepare the vehicle prior to treatment by removing dirt and debris and removing heavy rust and ensuring the vehicle is dry. The Waxoyl treatment covers the full underbody and chassis as well as sills, doors, bonnet and tailgate. We would need the car for approximately 6 hours."
