Just wondered how may of you guys waxoyled your car fairly early on, as I have been looking to buy and there are some fairly rusty Monaro's on the under-body due to the area of build and the fact a lot where stood for a while.

Normally around £800, excluding the rear subframe removal. We dont normally do that, but do take off all the other clutter. Its more than just spraying waxoyl/underseal around the place, but it is much more effective. Rust always starts in the seams. It is these that really need the attention.

Got mine undersealed last year. It was fine, no rust yet, but I thought prevention would be better than cure. They used some VW rubberised stuff on it instead of Waxoyle.
Watch out for the rubberised stuff, as it ages it splits and holds the water instead.Edited by Rum Runner on Tuesday 9th March 19:10

Not this stuff. Its a 2K product. The single pack stuff does as you say. Its useless. The stuff we use is a 3M product, basically the best on the market and virtually identical to that used by a lot of OEM's.
I didn't do all the work on this care here, www.moparuk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24970&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 just for it to go rusty. I used it on a restoration that i did 10 years ago, its lived outside all that time and its in perfect shape.

1. I love the colour of the final coat you give.

We dont normally jet wash. Makes everything wet which is no use. Once all the clutter is off, we use rags etc and a cleaner and do it by hand.
That Charger is cool, proper job in always.
Sorry 2Blackhats did not state he had the rubberised finish done at Monkfish in the relpy.
I have also used 3m Stonechip black for high impact areas on TVR chassis. But before that I coat them in Marine Epoxy as it will not pass any moisture which is why we use it on standard GRP boats as a barrier against osmosis.

I think we did 2blackhats car. I could be wrong, done so many! I assumed he was referring to the seam sealer. Its the 3M sealer we use, not the stonechip compound, which is a 1K product.
Nice "Lee". Is that Phils?

Nice... your charger is coming together - looking really nice. I am a member on that forum as well from back when I was trying to find a 1970 Roadrunner!

Actually it wasn't done by you, but they did use the same 3M sealer you refer to!
