I usually Waxoyl what I call the hot spots for rust. In all the Suzukis I have had and not treated the door bottoms rust from the inside out (but then they do on a lot of old cars. lol) usually at the leading edge along with the sills. Sills are a nightmare in the 20 year old Suzuki that has not been treated. So doors and bonnet frames get a blast. The chassis is usually good enough to outlast the life of the car whatever that means. Hehehehehe. Nonetheless I spray the chassis internally too as it is here where the pressure washer can't get to to move the winter salt.

Then with what I have left I get rampant and spray silly areas like behind the headlights. In general I guess I follow the rule 'if I can't see it, spray it'. :laugh: :laugh:

As for the outer surfaces underneath I use underseal with added Waxoyl where I have had to deal with the onset of rust; I try to catch the rust before it gets to be rot but I don't bother until I think it needs dealing with.

I use a spray gun that attaches to the Waxoyl round tins and has the probe with a "fling it everywhere" nozzle on the end running off my compressor.

Then in a few years (like 6 to 8) I will get a cheapo oil and spray that into the box chassis sections.

this is from when i did mine.



after a bit of research i bought some of this today,




i treated the bits of rust i had earlyer and made a start ,the bits i have done look realy good especially being done with a brush just need to get some gloves as its a bugger to get off your hands, think i need 1 spray can just to make sure i get to the hard to reach bits.they recon it deadeneds nosie a bit to but it must be minimal.im inpresed with how easy it goes on and what it looks like when its on.did inside front arches seeing as i have took the plastic bit out due to trimming the arches and looks good as the car is black anyway.


1 week later
well finaly finished that job took longer than i thought and very messy but it looks good and finished of the bit i couldt reach with this.
