Time For Underbody Protection?

[Darren D]

For those who are hoping to keep their cars for a few years, it maybe worth considering giving your car some additional underbody protection against the coming UK salty roads.

It's clear to see that MG have used 'NASA' technology to keep the weight down by making all parts as thin as possible.
I have covered all underneath with Dynax-UB , lets see what it looks like after the winter!

Lovely, I'm all for it. flood all the cavities as well though, that's where any real rot will start and you can't see it until it's already terrible!

Did my Facelift 5 Trophy a couple of weeks ago with Bilthamber Dynax UC and S50 for all the cavities, sills and door skins. I highly recommend their products, they really work and hold up well. The aerosol cans are a doddle to use.

I have Lanoguard’d the underside and cavities since delivery day and respray the natural smelly stuff every autumn before winter! I just didn’t trust the rust proofing from factory.

Any recommendations for a company that does this?

Can you tell us how much you need to coat the car? 1 can of each enough?

I got the Dynax-UB 5 litre can for the underbody which was more than ample, I have still to do all the doors and cavities as I had missed the best of the warm weather, so they will have to wait until next year.

How did you apply. I have only ever used the large cans. Does it spray using a plastic spray bottle.

 

[Darren D]

I would normally have sprayed it on to be honest. While the car was bone dry when I applied it the temperature was not really that warm, so I used a brush just to ensure I got some additional protection before the winter, with the plan to do full job next summer. I have normally in the past used waxoyl and had good results. I had a Discovery 200tdi for over 16 years, treating the underbody with it annually, when I sold it at 26 years old, it had never had any welding and was still solid.

Thanks for the info.

I highly recommend Bilt Hamber.

The stuff is fantastic and works. Worth every penny. So easy and very satisfying to do as well.
