Thanks for that update Steven (and once again for the original post snotty!)  Will be tackling my '94 Eunos before the winter arrives and this has been a fantastic help all round

snotrag said: How long did it take you?. 2.5 days from jack up to back down but that wasnt flat out, a few cups of tea were had! I also lost an hour due to the clips used on the nsf arch liner - no phillips heads and a nightmare to remove. Broke a few in thw process, got some replacements off a Mazda 323F in the scrappies yesterday.

I'm keen to do this to my recently acquired '5. Is it necessary to have a different applicator (the long bit that goes into the sills) for each substance, i.e. one for the converter, and one for the cavity wax?
Many thanks.

I've found www.rust.co.uk to be good for dinitrol products, a bit cheaper than the other place mentioned here. Hoping for some warm weather to get stuck into my newly acquired MkII 1.8 RS.

I'm pretty pleased with it.
Theres a couple of areas showing a bit of wear where the underside has crunched off speedbumps, but overall pretty good.
The inside arch lips, and sills etc still seem fine - was definitely worth the effort.
If I've still got the car I'll probably touch it all up again this Autumn.
Bear in mind this is a car that gets used daily, anytime, anyplace, in the wet, down country lanes, on the motorway etc.
If it was a Sunday car I reckon it would still look like the day I did it.

yer I was planning on doing what you have, but i was speaking to carl at cbs autos and he was dead against undersealing, as it " rusts from the inside and it can mask the problem".. he just said use clear waxoyl, But seeing as yours is still good I'll probably just go the dinitrol route..
Cheers

Just done mine with 3 750ml cans of Bilt Hamber Dynax S50. A nasty job but it does need doing if your '5 is to stand a chance of escaping the rust. I can't speak for other products but the S50 seems to form a decent coating and each can comes with an aerosol nozzle and a 2ft extension tube with a diffuser on the end. It's fairly runny and with hindsight, a plastic sheet under the car would have avoided the need to clean the drive afterwards. Well worth taking the plastic wheel arch liners out too - I couldn't believe the amount of compacted mud I hosed out of mine!
