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.
