    It's Rusting!!!!!!!!

    OH Great! Looked under the "Beach Warrior" D2 yesterday, there are a lot of rusty spots.

    This truck gets steam cleaned after every beach trip.

    What's the solution... Sand blast and coat with rust inhibitor.

    One of the electronic devices.. What are they like. What's a good one. Neighbour swears by them.

    What's that Fish oil like?

    Spray with sump oil and drive along a dirt road?

    In Brisbane you just have to do the beaches. Need something seriouse.

    it doesnt matter what you use...as long as the bare metal is sealed up from the air and moisture.......

    you can use all of the above mentioned......as well as paint.....underbody sealer.......etc......

    I use Lanolin from Lanotec. Get it from Bunnings.

    I wipe it on with a cloth where I can and spray it on where I can't.

    Of course there is. It's a Land Rover.

    Why you want to be different?

    I have used deodorised fish oil with good results, but most of the above should work.

    The Fishoilene you can also buy in 4 litre cans form hardware shops - thin it down with a bit of turps and spray it on with one of those hand pump bottles. Spray/fog heaps into any holes into the chassis too.
    I think it's a Wattyl product. Bit smelly but that soon goes away - it sets semi hard and makes under the car nice and shiny.
    You might need to repeat it before a long beach trip.

    add ...if you can get access to a hoist, compressor and spray gun it will make the job a whole lot easier.
