Thats the way , keep that beauty alive. The looks very solid! There's a very good wax here in the UK from bilt hamber. Love the cockerel in the background
The car seems to be very solid. Have yet to find any rust on it. Might do a tour of all the animals on the farm one day haha
The XJ is in very good condition. This is one of those jobs that is certainly worth the effort. Your car is a good example of the benefits of putting in the effort before there are problems. As they say, prevention is better than cure.
Hi Adam . I think you' ll get a mixed response to this. On the basis that you never found rust where oil leaked.l used to give every nook and cranny a liberal coat of old engine oil . I 'd remove door cards , get an oil can and give the insides a good coat. This was before rust prevention was taken seriously. With the modern rust products the chioce is yours . However, l do find the modern anti chip products particularly good. As you say underseal hardens , chips and then traps water, salt etc. With anti chip it hardens to a rubbery finish and stones tend to bounce off. To be honest Adam, power washing the the under sides particularly the wheel arches is a very good start to preventing the dreaded rust. But it's down to the individual's choice. Thankfully most of today's cars are very well protected with galvanised metal and superior anti rust materials. Take care and stay safe .
cant wait to see it running again!!
Not only does it protect your car it looks so much better mine doesn’t get used in the winter months but I’m still going to look at doing it I’m definitely interested in another video on other rust area’s 👌👍
I think it looks nicer with black under also
awesome video
Thank you!
I am a firm believer in mud flaps I enjoyed this video Ty Dino Angelli
I like them too! I plan on picking up a set and fitting them. I think they look cool too haha
@@LivingWithAClassic I disagree,,I find mudflaps are rust traps,,behind the flaps never dries out ,,and that give rust a chance,,,its only my opinion,,,regards
lipsee100 You need to put spacers between the screws and the mudflap wall so when you wash you can wash the dirt out as well as keep the space dry
@@dinoangelli5310 I drive a Rover 75 and it has plastic clips,,which hold the flap tight against the bodywork, no room for spacers,,but I get your drift...I spr
ay chain grease between flap and body which helps alot..
Real,ly like these videos, your relaxed, easy to follow and well informed style makes watching the channel a very pleasant and interesting experience. Well done Adam.
Where is the fluid film?
Hejsan! Nice vid, now I'm inspired to treat my Mercedes Pagoda and S III Land Rover soon - never heard about rust bacteria, though... And yes please, a detailing video would be great :-)
It’s a lot of work but it feels good afterwards.
Great video again, Adam! I'd love to see a vid for the special zones and, of course, paint protecting. My cars are sleeping in the winter, but I try to drive them as long as I could in autumn. So they get wet from time to time, and I'd like to keep them save from rust. 👍
It’s good to use them as long as you feel comfortable to. The other was on the channel I will drive from time to time on dry days during the winter to keep them running.
Thanks for watching!
Great job! Now I need to get mine done.
Thank you, good to see what you have done to protect your car.
Excellent once again Adam, always enjoyable to watch.
Great job. You are doing it right. That and the wax will make last so long, with no rust. The underside is so important to help make it last.
A lot of people don't do this, but later wish they did. You may want to use a polishing compound before the wax, to make the paint look great. before the protection. It does wonders for paint or faded clear coat. I use it by hand but you can use a rotating polisher.
All your videos are good and also as a help reference, for others having the same problems, and getting help with solutions for theirs..
l never ever apply underseal to cars that have been undersealed before. lt is impossible to insure you haven't trapped moisture regardless of how hard you try. l learned the hard way.
For me it depends how good the old job was. This was done very well and basically all of it was in place with no splits or anything. On my Daimler I would take off all the old since it is in a poor state.
The car has also been inside for a month with heat and a dehumidifier going. It’s as dry as can be
I agree plus theres so many better products than underseal out there these days. 👍
It isn’t really the old tradition under seal that I used. It’s a wax based on that doesn’t fully harden. It works very well
@@LivingWithAClassic ok, hope it works ok for you .
I would have definitely stripped off all the old underseal first.
Using raptor on my underbody
It was stuck on very well and if I did remove some of the old I only found perfect paint and metal under it
@@LivingWithAClassic I would never trust underseal. Once it does start to lift and the water gets in that's when the rot comes in.
I strip off totally, red oxide or epoxy then raptor or stonechip over the top.
Much easier to keep an eye on it in the future.
But of course that's just my opinion.
I used the term under seal more as a term for something under the car. What was on there before was a modern wax based anti rust treatment which didn’t harden either. It’s just old habit calling it under seal. The car has an epoxy primer under everything that I’ve found. So far it’s very very solid which is great
would you not wash it first,,,,,,
I wouldn’t. You want a dry car. If I do wash it I would let it dry for a few weeks in a heated garage first
You would by better off using por 15 . That rubber hold the moisture in . Better off with paint
