stesrg Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 forgive my noobishness, will that not scrub any paint off the underside of the car No its a fairly low pressure one and if you look in the pics you can see I have only concentrated on the rusty areas , TBH a car of this low millage is quite bad compaired with my 1989 BMW The underside of the Z is treated from factory very poorly IMO SO never mind all you lot detailing Topside What about Underside !!!!

bronzee Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 It always astounds me how rusty the UK cars underneath. Your winters and gritting and salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Good work, the waxoil pumps are naff, I had to use a heat gun to keep it hot when I did mine, how comes you used the clear waxoil and not the black stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59bhp Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 for longevity any rust should be completely removed or treated, otherwise the rust will continue but the other way plus you wont be able to see it rusting (only speak from experiance ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
