Underseal
![Post Post](./styles/aero/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Just a general question - when changing the oil earlier today I looked at the general condition of the underside (as one tends to do when under a car). The floor feels solid, but there are patches of surface rust coming through (see photo below). What's the best way to treat this. I was going to give it a sand down, then lash on a dose of Waxoyl. Is there anything else you would recommend I do - or any other products you have had success with? I've read about POR15 - but is that for something more serious than what I have? Is POR 15 enough on it's own, or does it then have to be covered/sealed?
I actually called into a motor factors in Athlone looking for waxoyl but they had none, and the guy insisted that I take some brush on Tetrosyl Seam Sealer - saying it would do the same thing. I asked if it was not meant to do just what it said on the tin.... seal seams, but he said it could be used to cover the whole underside of the car. Despite my doubts, I bought a tin, but when I got back home I googled and it seems (no pun intended!) thats this is not the case. From a few forums I looked through it appears that this stuff is put on over seams (or in some cases over the whole underside) THEN covered in stone chip. I was hoping to get away with just the stonechip/waxoyl layer. I intend returning the seam sealer - unless convinced otherwise!
Thanks.
