In this case its a fresh import.............. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...ff9d25b01e.jpg so its just a spray on job thank goodness. |
Wow nice and clean, new car?
|
Is it clear mate and how much
|
the waxoyl in a tin you paint brush on appears much thicker than a spray and therefore maybe more protective than a spray ? , i only spray it if i can’t get a brush there , i’ve been doing mine for the last 7 years
|
Ok thanks mate mine been in country a year now and still looks really good , but it needs protecting do you take anything off like exhaust etc or avoid spraying anything
|
i have left virtually every thing on , if i catch the exhaust i just wipe it off , the rear bumper on my fsti i spray and brush in there , it’s worth taking off the plastic trim under the engine sump so you can treat around there , arches front and rear get a good glob of the stuff , the only bits i take off are wheels so i can do the wheel arches , worth covering brake pipes etc , i check my sealent every year but don’t often have to do any thing , main point is pick a period of dry days to do it , mine is an 2004 with around 155 k miles on it it’s still very clean underneath , i bought an 05 fsti too which has been in the uk for less time and the older one is in a better state , don’t forget jacking points they are prone to rusting as paint gets rubbed off , you can buy rubber jacking bushes/puks on ebay for around 5£ or so

brown...... for inside chassis/box sections £150.00 but i use it on both cars. as they are imports and keepers i think its worth it |
I use the Bilt Hamber products on my import Legacy, in fact on the last two imports.
If I find any rust I paint on some Hydrate 80 first then follow up with the various Dynax waxes. Cheaper than a garage and just as good. https://www.bilthamber.com/ :thumb: |

Thanks mate
How much of the stuff do you need Mine doesn't seem to have any on at the moment. It is very clean and want to keep it that way so I am trying to make an informed decision on what to do. 4 cans cavity wax 4 cans underbody wax comes in 500ml aerosols use anything thats been mentioned they have all been used over the years. if you have access to a compresor you can buy it in 1 litre cans, to use with a schulz gun, its much cheaper this way. try to get it done, as road salt is your enemy, it will be a shame not to if its good underneath. :thumb: |
