Hi all

I would like to know your views on protecting my chassis, there is little rust to be seen, i would like to give it the best protection i can with out removing the body

do i just jet wash it and then waxoyl inside the chassis and then paint the outside or have you better tips

thanks in advance
 
if your serious about protecting your chassis, then Jet wash with no soap to loosen the caked on crap,clean it with a wire brush, then treat it inside and out with the Uber treatment from POR. you can get it easily from Frost Restorations. well priced stuff.

Forget Schultz and Waxoil - do it properly

I've used it on all my projects and it's amazing.
 
;)

One thing with POR though - heed the warnings on the tin - if you get it on your skin and let it dry, it ain't coming off for quite a while ! It's a C**t to get off!

I had patches of baldness on both arms after spraying a complete Buick chassis last year with no overalls.....i had to peel off the layers it feckin hurt, and I had a lovely blue tinge for weeks :D

Still, i'll never rust...
 
Do they do a product like schutz/waxoil or is it just a paint, i,d prefer something a bit thicker to go inside my chassis, or am i being a tit ?:p

ok, its not cheap, but a small tin goes along way, and like most things, you get what you pay for.
You will only do it the once, if you use "a n other" brand it could be something you have to do annually.
Depends how often you want to get under it and paint it..:D
 
thing is, you can't be cheap when it comes to protection underneath. It's better to spend the money on a decent product and get it right, than to just slap a generic underseal/stonechip/wax derivitive on something.

POR will last virtually forever, stops the moisture getting to the surface metal, and gives a good finish.

there are other Schultz based products out there - i've used Dinitrol a few times in the past - good stuff - if the surface is prepped properly.

LOLZ - I nearly posted the same link.

Just make sure to blow out all the ****e from the legs before you apply it inside. I normally jam a pressure washer inside a leg and let it blast as much ****e out as possible, and then dry it with an air line and a day or two in the workshop to air dry.

I'd wait until things warm up a bit before you go doing any treatments though fella - unless you have a nice warm workshop or garage :D
