Thread: Rustproofing for the beach

Sounds good to me, shaunp. I'd be grateful.

It will give you a good chance to take the **** out of my Defender too, thus joining the not-so-exclusive AULRO "lampoon Vlad's car" club. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

We'll see what happens with this Disco that Dad is trying to buy, it's becoming a bit long winded, I don't want to kill off the little grass I have left doing to many cars. We will try and work something out once we get the car. I have a couple of panel repairs to do on it first , bit of rust on one alpine light , dent in the bottom of a rear gard from hitting something of road and a couple stress cracks to mig up and I'll give it a cut with a waffle pad. Bring your own products and a carton of Gold for me to drink while I watch you get dirty.

8O What would I be getting for my carton, then :?: :?

where are these hiding ?

You can get dirty( because I'll get dirty enough on the old mans car) useing my compressor and guns while killing my grass, you can drink some to, I won't be able to drink it all because I'll have already drunk the carton Dad brings. You won't use 4L of Tectyle on a tray back I don't reckon, there's not much on the cab to do only 2 doors and fire wall and any cavities like pillars etc. Chassis is about the same as a disco. Again the septone under body rust proof you won't use 4L either because you really only coat the outside of chassis and floor pan of the cab + the wheel arches. May get away with 4L of Tectyle and some quick dry emamel to mix with it for the under side but you will be cutting it fine. You really can't rust proof them properly with pressure packs, these are ok for doors but the chassis you really need to blast it in with a decent compressor and hose type gun. If I blow it in one end off the chassis with my gun you get fog at the other end of the car so I reckon if you do this in all the holes in the chassis they should be right. Tectyle keeps for years so it doesn't matter if you don't use it all in one go. I do my car every 3 years or so. I don't have dregs left at the moment because I used them on a mates Disco a couple of month back before he went to the Kimberlies. I'll get 4L of each for Dad's car but on a wagon I'll probably use most of that seeing as is has never been done before I like to flood them. You get pretty messy but at least you don't smell like fisholene afterwards and you will be water proof. I might peg out one of those plastic drop sheets on the grass this time I think, because I really sorted the lawn last time.

Cheer up Vlad, it's only a machine and that's why series are such great value, don't lose some much if something happens. In any case you'd unbolt everything you did to the current one before trade in and keep it for the next one. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

So what's the story with the electronic gizmo things .... "counteract" or something they call it :?: Aren't they supposed to do wonderful things like electrify your car or make it glow at night to stop rust from attacking.

Anyone know much about them whilst we're at it :?:

ERPS is supposedly better than counteract..

counteract have changed their name for some reason. i cannot remember what they changed it too. I bought some of their t2000 precleaner and teflon polish. the quickest way i have ever seen to polish a vehicle up to sparkleing.

ERPS is now user fittable. you can supposedly tell the setup is working because your paint doesnt oxidize.

Get away with you, makes the paint shinny, does it wash it and vacuum the sand out as well.
