Undercoating!

Well, time flew by this fall due to work and before I had a chance to do any undercoating, the roads had been salted

I recently picked up a 5 gallon bucket of this:

Welcome to Pro Form Products

Oil and wax based undercoating..

SO.. if I sprayed it now, it would seal the salt in or would it penetrate past the salt and seal the metal?

Even if I wash it, there would still be some salt(water) there somewhere..

Would it be best to skip it this season and wash it VERY well a few times in the spring and coat it for next fall early?


Thanks!

It will seal in any salt if you do it now.

Unless you can pressure wash it before you apply, you may have to skip it.
