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

im getting the brush on underseal before the winter comes :) muc off is pretty good what is used for motorbikes :)

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

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

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]

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

Doh sorry replied thinking I was on the surrey forum lol...won't be helpful for 99% of people on here.

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

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
