Post by scorpion »

Hay guys just wanted to know can anyone tell me how often do I have to rust proof my 4x4? Where can I get it done in brisbane? How much ? And is the spray stuff or the electronic better? :?: :?: :?:

i personally am going to spray the under body and inside allm y panels with lanolin every 6-12 months.. before winter rocks up.
but then again i have a zook so if you want electronic styles then you must have a 'nice' 4by :)

lanolin in a can is like 10 bucks.

I have a 2001 jeep cherokee v8 . So far off raod has been a top performer but as i want to look after it I was woundering about rust proofing it so you think that lanolin will be enough we go to the beach often.

I would go both. I currently have "rust stopper" electronic protection. There are many models on the market. I hear coupler tec is good also.

I am in the process of tracking down spray also. Let me know how you go?

My car was done by "Rust Free Aust" . http://www.rustfree.com.au/

It seems to be a pretty good coating but it was expensive. I used to get 5L of tectol and 5L of fisholene and go at it myself with a compressor and spray gun.

Nowdays I just use a bit of lanolin.
