Definitely - Dave’s Autobodies on the Wirral. He used to do the bodywork for an Indy before going on his own. |

Mine is the same year/model, albeit, 60k miles, but it is in excellent condition underneath.

Yes, I recently had to spend a small fortune on mine for mechanical things (all wear and tear, just one of those occasional huge bills), so I thought I really ought to have the sill covers off to see what horrors lurked beneath. To my utter amazement it was the same as yours, minor surface rust, easily treated and cavities pumped full of Dynax S50, should be good for years. Just got to dare looking at my Wife's car now (also a 2010 TdV8) Drives:

Yep - I've gone down the Dynax S50 route as well for the cavities. Going to also spray some Dynax UC on the sills before the cover goes back on for good hopefully. |

I went for Hydrate 80 first, S50 for cavities, and a topcoat of UC.

My arches are starting to show the bubbling which worried me on my 2011. Took the plastic sill covers off and was pleasantly surprised with only surface rust around the jack pad. Ideally I want to remove the rubber pad and cake the surface with rust killer and Lanoguard inside and out.

Is lanoguard any good to seal the underside ? |

A lot of people use Lanoguard, a lot use Waxoyl, a lot use Dynax UC for exposed surfaces and Dynax S50 for sill cavities etc.

Thanks Jonny. I was thinking lanoguard as it’s a clear coating and last 2-3 years although my winter driving will be minimal as will use the daily hack. So might well do longer.

I think it’s all in the prep. First time I did underneath I used Neutrarust 661 followed by Lanoguard, but looking back now I could have prepped better and the weather was too cold. This year I did during warmer weather and used Buzzweld products, Rust encapsulater-Chassis in One-then finally their Lanoguard pro.
