Post What lies beneath...
I've had my new floors, sills, toe board, etc... all painted up in stone chip. Should I paint the underneath with something else or just leave them in paint?

Waxoyl...etc....?

Trust there was primer & paint on b4 the stone chip, seam sealer and such...? Then this stuff http://www.bykebitz.co.uk/acf-50-anti-c ... wwodg3oAdw into the box sections, all the seams an if you feeling rich all over the underneath.
Waxoil is a bit yesterday now, it hardens and cracks in the cold, so lets water in, then holds it there and acts like a wet poultice. Ok where the temp is reasonably warm but there are much better options now.

Waxoyl

The bits of my car that are original are perfect 26 years later

I do a coat of fresh waxoyl each year

Shutz under body spray - it stays tacky and doesn't harden and crack.
