moxy 617 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Pair of ramps and a compressor. No problem. Just make sure you wire brush off as much shite as you can before you blather it on. Well worth doing and good for protecting your break lines. Don't be shy. Get a couple of tins thrown on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bootsha 1,306 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 i get under my landy a few times a year, pressure clean off first, let it dry properly( dont take long in this weather) get the compressor fired up and splat a gallon of black oil under it, brake pipes especially, get the nozzle well into the holes in the chassis and hold the trigger till it starts coming out somewhere. I used to use wax oil, bt i found that , while it creates a skin to repell water etc, after a while the skin starts to break up, and then can end up holding moisture in as it ingresses, i found this out first hand, black oil forms no waterproof barrier, but stops any rust starting. just my experiences. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jambay5 191 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 cheers lads, does it spray out of the tin or do u mix it with something??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 It spays out of the tin but you will need a gun in order to attach it to the compressor and apply it. Gun will be around a tenner and underseal about £7 a tin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

charlie caller 3,654 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 my truck needs undersealing is this a job i can do my self have you lads any tips??? ATB It is not worth doing mate unless you put it on clean metal,a much better alternative is to spray your vehicle with some Fresh oil underneath so it soaks into all the seams and into the chassis. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ATB It is not worth doing mate unless you put it on clean metal,a much better alternative is to spray your vehicle with some Fresh oil underneath so it soaks into all the seams and into the chassis. That is definitely sound advice and I have also mixed new engine oil with grease (50:50) and slapped that all over chassis etc but avoid rubber hoses as some can react to oil. It will eventually wear off a bit and you may need to do it a couple of times a year, but the metal underneath it will stay like new and is definitely better than waxoyl... but a bit of a messy job.
