The problem with undercoating is it acts like bowl that holds all the corrosive material you will pickup on the road. Your only hope is full rinsing after every drive in challenging conditions.  You chances of hermetically sealing your car chassis is very unlikely. The places that will be

I've found Lanoguard to be an effective corrosion inhibitor and I believe they do use it as a vehicle underseal in New Zealand. On Thu, 12 Sep 2019 at 19:09, Mark Abramowitz via EV wrote: > > I’ve got to think that there are better solutions that don’t require > contaminating waterways or

Thanks guys for the info so far. Michael, I use fluid film too, have my own shultz gun and buy it by the 5 gallon pail. It is still expensive at that size per liter but I can usually do 7-8 cars with it. David, you must not be in the rust belt, lucky you. I live in an area where it is a

It is actually more than oil. There are really good rust inhibitors in the chemistry. The fluid goes on the consistency of gear oil and congeals in 24 hours. It is always ‘wet’. Here in NE a coating/respray runs $175. You can by the product in line and apply it yourself. One gallon is enough to

I use fluid film on all my vehicles. I pay for the first coverage and do my own each fall before the winter weather starts here in New England. Never had any issues with degradation or corrosion. I would also tell you my cousin has a plowing business and his salt spreaders are 8 years old with

2019-09-11 Thread Dan Baker via EV
Has anyone here had their EV undercoated? I know a lot of vehicle's warranties state that their corrosion coverage could be void if any rust inhibitors are applied. And some rustproofing products will degrade rubber and plastic over time- not good for high voltage cables. But without
