Anyone know where I can have the underneath stonechipped?

Post by chuckle-bus-tom »

In the past I've sprayed waxoil on the belly of my van, but this year I'd like to beast it and get a professional to do a proper job. Does anyone know anywhere in the south easy that does a full on hot jet wash and re seal with proper stone chip paint?

well a steam clean will shift mostr of the crap and loose stuff, then it will also be blasted into and under anything weak or not removed and i wonder how it will all be dried out? then you will have rust around and you wish to seal it all in with a impermeable coating ??
ok it will look nice and black but better to use the dynax UC, as it self repairs to an extent and is made for the job and better than waxoyl(which i do like ) for this application
sorry not more help

I would agree, don't stonechip it. Wax would be much better.

OK, good info guys.

The much discussed Aldi compressor is in my local and discounted quite alot, so I think I'll use the link provided, buy some kit and continue doing it myself once the weather warms up.
