Underbody rust proofing

[BillyWhizz]

I am getting my mg5 soon and I hopefully be keeping this car for sometime so I was wondering has anyone considered underbody rustproofing I was thinking of using fluid film any thoughts?

yup... 1/2 gal of Waxoyl thinned down with WD40 or similar .....

and a decent compressor..I do it to all my cars, every couple of years.

Nice job I wished I had the tools to do that I will be crawling under the car with a spray can ?

I would pay for a job done that well ?

Most classic car repairs or restorers would do it for you.

And BTW, I did check with my MG dealer first...just in case of any warranty issues.

How old was your ZS when you waxed it? Did it show any signs of seam rust then?

 

[Chrispydoc]

A couple of weeks old...no not the slightest sign of rust.

Yes - it finding the right one though that does a good job. I’d like to do it myself.

I can’t see it effecting the warranty so should we just let the car rust and then claim on the warranty

 

[Cocijo]

some manufacturers will not honour body warranty if it has been changed in any way from manufacture - including adding extra rustproofing. Tesla for example.

It’s worth checking I will ask the question on the MG website
