Hi All,

I have a L494 RRS. It's pretty well protected underneath, bash plate wise, straight from the factory. I was surprised to discover that the plates are a combination of steel and alloy.

I recently discovered slight surface corrosion on one of the plates (steel) covering the fuel tank (?). At that stage the car had only been off-road once in its life, on Moreton Island. Having owned two D4s before, I'm familiar with a rigorous post-beach cleaning requirement, so was surprised to see this rust.

I will clean up what I can and repaint but am looking for recommendations for a spray inhibiter that I can slosh around the two plates to prevent any further rust.

Cheers,

Kev.

I've always been a fan of Killrust, simply because it's has worked for me. Others prefer lanolin or bitumen.

It should be available in smaller qualities.

Hadn't heard of that one, but other CEM stuff is pretty good. Thanks
