Hello all,

Was surprised upon buying my baby that i didn't find more rust than i did. I have 2 small areas bubbling at the bottom corners of the rear window, this im going to get a mobile guy i know to do.

Under the car there appears to be no rust except for the seam at the front of the drivers side foot well. The seam appears to have corroded and kind of "lifted" a bit. For want of a better word. While it has not rotted through, this to i will get sorted buy a guy i know. I have experienced his work before and once done, you cannot tell were the old metal ends and the new metal begins.

So obviously, once this is taken care of i don't want any more probs, and in the UK anyway, with the amount of car eating rick salt they splash around in the winter, ill be looking to underseal her asap. I had decided to go with Dinitrol, as this seems to have excellent write ups. Someone also recommended Bilthambers Dynax UB as well. And someone also said avoid Waxoyl like the plague as its useless.

What are peoples experiences with underseals, and what should i be going with? Also, what areas should i pay particular attention to under the car. Should i put it everywhere or are there specific areas to avoid. Obviously, moving parts, exhaust i know about, but is there anywhere else?

Hope all are well.

 

Dynax, I'm the guy how recommended it and treated my brand new bodyshell. If you're referring to my rust thread, you'll know why.

 

Ive heard good things about Dynax from bilthamber. Did a bit of research and apparently they've been around for decades, and came out of the marine and aviation industry. Everything ive seen says to use Dynax UB for the exterior protection and I think its called SE for the cavities.

There is one piece of rust that is concerning me and i found a bit on the nearside sill. About 2 inches in diameter. My initial thought was that the defective metal could be replaced and the whole sill could be stripped back, and prepped, sealed and painted. But one so-called expert told me that the whole sill would need to be replaced. This sounds like an excuse to charge me stupid money. Any thoughts peeps?

 

Also, while im on the subject, would prefer (although i know its unlikely) to have a mobile tech come to me and do this work. Anyone know of anyone who would do this work and come to kent?

 

Bump!

 

maybe ask on the uk forum....

 

I like tetraseal aerosol big cans - bit smelly (I like the smell...), bit messy, soaks in, goes on easy, gets to all the difficult areas, no need for a brush etc. although once on the car you can move it about with a brush for a while, sticks really well...really easy to use I have found....hope this helps.
