As for protective coatings on areas under the car and behind plastic sill covers and wheel arch liners etc, read Dhallworth's posts, the stuff he uses is very good. |

Any modern product will work, don't use Waxoyl though, it was designed back in the 70's and has just been living on it's name for years, it hasn't evolved over time and IMHO is pretty useless.. it wears off and cracks after a few years and just traps water, the black stuff they sell for sills etc just lets the rust develop underneath and eventually peels off in sheets to reveal all the rust...

Unfortunately it is a regular find... just hope it hasn't gone too far back into the inner sill and the box sections around the subframe mounting.. Pete

It looks like its stopping at the seam, I haven't taken off the trim yet fully. I'm scarred to be honest

Sorry to say it but rust always looks better than it is, you have to cut back to clean metal to start to repair and that usually makes a large hole....

So I got time to take off the sill trim tonight, it was an absolute bastard removing the side steps, the last bolt like always was rusted so rounded off, I ended up removing 3 and beltling it sideways...worked though
