savage bulldogs Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Just wondering if anyone has cleaned the underside of a motor and if so what they used to clean and seal it afterwards. Ideally I'd like something to just last the comming winter months. As I intend on prepping painting and polly bushing most moving parts at some point . Thanks in advance Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 im getting the brush on underseal before the winter comes :) muc off is pretty good what is used for motorbikes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Just come across this, I normally use a wire brush go over all the bits you want to re do, then either the 5L waxoil stuff that comes with a sprayer or last year I did the paint on hammerite/waxiol treatment Had mixed results with the spray, mainly once it starts theres no stopping went everywhere on manifold and is generally messy as fook. If you don't have a lift. Brush stuff is good too did the floor pan and all the undersides of wishbones and wheel arches. Both of them have a moisture inhibitors which drys out everything. This year I'm gonna brush the floor pan and get some of the waxoil rattle cans to get into the box sections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitman Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 i use used gear oil for years ;) it's messy and uses lots of latex gloves and rags but for me it does the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Sorry ash I thought I replied to you bud , I did use that muck off under the rear arches and in the bay to seal the paintwork, cheers Made a world of difference that stants [emoji106] is brush on stuff clear in colour ? As mine hasn't been undersealed but I like that I can see any rust issues and sort them , rather than black underseal hiding issues bitman I do use engine oil on black pipework but can't stand the smell of gearbox oil bud Also I use "shockproof" oil which is green [emoji19] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusNoGood Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Remember Marks mate Joe in Redhill. He has a car lift he's happy for people to use for £10. I did the underside of my car round his...although that was using Waxoil paint and not the guely spray...I didn't want to take the pee and ruin his floor lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's a shame it's in Surrey cos I'd love the use of a ramp now and then . Guess I'm stuck with the axle stands and blocks of wood for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'm stuck with the axle stands and blocks of wood for now I Feel your (back) pain mate, luckily I borrowed the little ramps in the pic last year made things easier. Uld be nice to have someone near me with a lift I could borrow. When the car was imported somone dis a proper job sealing it so luckily it's only just a prevention coating That waxoil in a pump applicator's a nightmare, wouldn't stop coming out even after id de pressurised it haha. Wasn't so funny driving home with smoke pouring off the car :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
