Underseal..

[munk]

Going to get the 1 up in the air at some point and give it all a good rub down and Underseal, has any one else done this or have any advice on what to use(spray brush on?) what to avoid under neath..even what sort of Underseal? As this will be the first time for me thanks

Did it once on an old landrover, with a brush cuz a brush gets to the places spray can't and won't accidentaly spray things you don't want covered.

Mines been done, used a spray kit with a compressor to do it all. Spent quite a long time prepping it all underneath, wire brush getting rid of anything that looked like a bit of corrosion starting, worth it in the end

Forgot to add I had the gearbox/exhaust and heat shieldings of as well when doing it

Thanks peeps think I'll be leaving gearbox in place for this one
Going to buy a drill with wire brushy bit on it aswell to try and make life a bit easier any specific underseal to use??

go for the waxoyl underseal...underseal and inhibitor in one.

Mines in pretty good condition having been done from day one and numerous underbody services carried out since. Theres a couple of areas just requiring a touch in, mines being done at the next service at RCM.

Let me know where you go to get in the air to do it Munk, I reckon mine needs a few days in the air to wire brush it then underseal it.
Just spent the weekend replacing front, rear discs and pads. Really scabby underneath. with the low miles I reckon the previous owner had fun in the winter then garaged it to let the salt do its worst.. Dohhhhhhh Still nice to have brakes that work now

Would roger Clark do a full underseal for me ??

The trouble with the newer ones is they are pants underneath compared to alot of older classics and in my mind won't last as long unless treated!! Don't seem like they were treated to well in the first place... Only my opinion mind!

[thepieman]

Yep, RCM will do it

Speaking with Mike, he said worst part is masking and removing parts! The actual application of underseal is not too bad.

It may mean leaving the car there but I'm sure there'll always be someone to follow you up and bring you home

If you do phone, tell them your from SouthEastScoobies
