Post by **windysurfer** » 08 May 2008, 11:19

Just steam cleaned the underside of the van, wheelarches etc ready to underseal.

I think waxoil may be a bit soft for the wheel arches?

Oh i dunno,
I paid Manchester Aircooled to do mine a couple of years ago and he said they used waxoil. Sure someone with more knowledge will be able to answer that for you.

Black Waxoyl nice and thick, but check there are no loose bits of the orignal underseal as water will be trapped behind and will be sealed in.

sprayed on with a compressor and then dabbed onto any other bits with a brush... good stuff

Schutz is good stuff. You can paint over it too
