Hi..
yes.
1. I am based midlands.
2. Dinitrol was applied and is just showing some rust spots on front subframe and rear wishbones.
I could go under and sort those parts with a brush and Dinitrol but think its more robust to get it power washed all off and retreated.
Ideas?

With respect, this has been done to death on here
. Some comments:-
Dinitrol manufacture one of two absolutely top notch anti corrosion waxes.
The other is Bilt Hamber. I use both, professionally, and rate them both highly, very highly.We NEED to see pictures to comment - IIRC, I had already mentioned this earlier in the thread....
IMHO, removing functioning wax is pointless, and a waste of money, and product. Minor "damage" can simply be treated with a proper converter ( Fertan / De-ox / et al ) and then re-waxed - again, IMHO, a relatively simple DIY job which has minimal cost - especially in the grand scheme of '322 ownership
Finally, "underseal" as a word / process / and especially as a product should be disinvented

As you say, underseal should be disinvented. My Transit is undersealed, before the last MOT I found an area of seemingly intact underseal behind which there was no metalWith respect, this has been done to death on here

The MK2, MK4 and probably the others all rust away before you eyes, my first 2 were owned from new, my current MK6 is EX RAC, I assume it was they that had it undersealed.

All transits rust well its there past time
Very interesting and all correct.
Made me crawl underneath with big light, scraper.
Only a very few patches of which I will now apply rust converter and reapply underseal.
Sub-frames are in supper condition. I will re apply chassis injection whist at it to the subframes also.
cheers,
