    After this treatment, this Volvo 240 will still exist in 100 years.😉

    Ah, rusty old Escorts. Brings back memories of fibre glassing the sills and then filling with cataloy, so you could paint it neatly with black Hammerite paint. All to get through an MOT. Looking back, I must’ve been mad !

      4 cans of Dynax s50 and 5ltrs of Shultz underseal to fully protect her. She's going into the fight against rust fully protected!

      Well Monica took 4 cans of Dynax, we didn't scrimp either! Everything has been protected. We even did in the doors and behind any panels that got welded.

    • @MaddRIP1
      @MaddRIP1 Рік тому +1

      So an average car would take 4 cans of the aerosol Dynax. Would it be worth just doing all the chassis rails and my 2009 ST225/2019 BMW 330e?

    I'd be interested to know how the S50 product reacts if the car needs some welding later on. Does it remain flammable? I remember doing a lot of welding on my old Mercedes 307D and the factory underseal would burst into flames as soon as the welder came within a mile of it!

    • @WhitelandRestorations

      We'd always clean up underseal as well as we can before any welding..... don't fancy losing some eyebrows 😂

    Bilt Hamber is the best! I use Hydrate-80 on bare steel... I did use Fertan rust converter for a while, but it was far too labour intensive! PS: Waxoyl is poop!! Cheers. Leigh.

    • @Dirt-Diggler
      @Dirt-Diggler Рік тому +1

      If you thin and or heat waxoil it's easyer to use and it creeps far better, i agree as standard it's pretty low end compaired to pressurised can products which come ready thinned by virtue of being stored pressurised 🤔

    • @Zeem4
      @Zeem4 Рік тому +1

      I tried using Fertan on the underside of the front suspension strut areas on my Peugeot Expert - it looked like it was working, but after being left for a couple of weeks it started to look like it was sweating beads of rusty water, which I could wipe off with my finger. I don't think it works on very heavily pitted steel. I switched to Hydrate 80 and so far it's been fantastic, and incredibly easy to use. I then brush painted the inner wings with Electrox primer - they're still in primer at the moment because I haven't got to the next bit yet.

    Bottom inside of the doors is good to protect too. Seems like 240s often rust there.

    • @WhitelandRestorations
      @WhitelandRestorations  Рік тому

      We've taken extra precaution there. They have been flooded with duckoil and Dynax to try and keep the rust away for as long as possible.

  • @MonaichFother
    @MonaichFother Рік тому

    I've tried a few undercoats but the problem is it creates a plastic film that hides rot and corrosion happening under it and it is impossible to make this film waterproof. After much trial and error I've found the best coating is white gloss, any rust occurring can be spotted in seconds and attacked.

    • @WhitelandRestorations
      @WhitelandRestorations  Рік тому

      As with all underbody coatings, you have to make sure the underneath is prepared properly and as rust free as possible before applying.
