Just thought I would share the underseal process I had done on my GR by preserve and protect in Scotland. (I do not work for them and did not receive any discount etc to write this)
I know there are many veins of thought on underseal, some think it is a waste of time while others go for the DIY option with something like Lanoguard.
I'm not really interested in getting into that argument it has been covered else where but as someone who looked for advice before I got mine done I hope this may help someone else!
I decided to go for the professional route, I am fairly hands on with car work but do not have the time / garage equipment or know how to disassemble the car safely then underseal knowing I've done it right. It obviously cost more than doing it yourself, but for me it seemed worth it as it is not something I would have enjoyed doing or had the ability to due to time and equipment restraints.
The company I went to was Preserve and Protect just outside of Paisley, they have many glowing reviews across motoring forums and have done a few other GR's before mine. They were honest, upfront and fitted me in within a weeks notice around some other ongoing restoration work. I was sent before and after photos (will put some below) and had the process explained as the following.
The Dinitrol process takes approx. 5 - 7 days to complete each vehicle, it is an in-depth service we provide and very thorough.
Once your Vehicle comes in we remove the wheels and plastic liners. We needle descale any flaking rust and fully steam clean the underside of the vehicle using a degreaser, from here we will treat the rust with rust convertor this is left to cure overnight. (Only applicable if rust present, this is our process if we come across anything).
The next stage is to Inject all sills and cavities with cavity wax.
The last stage is to treat the full underside with Underbody wax this is left to cure.
With your style of vehicle we will carryout a double injection of cavity wax into all cavities for maximum protection.
We carryout Free annual Inspections, bring your vehicle back and we can fully Inspect its overall condition after each year.
Really happy with the results, and as there are free annual inspections this is an ongoing investment which will keep paying off over time.
The guys who run the shop are proper petrol heads who really care about what they do and take pride in it. They had a DC2 Integra there on the ramps which had been owned since import for 14 years but had no underbody protection for welding work and underseal, it's scary to see the effects of lack of proper protection over time combined with Scottish roads that have salt on them from about October-March.
Hope this helps anyone else considering getting the work done, happy to answer any questions!
