What do people use for undersealing a car! was thinking a good spray with black bitumen paint, or is it still possible to get proper underseal!Thanks

You can get under sealer in a spray can makes it very easy to apply from places like woottons car accessorys. No more trying to apply gunky tar

Just got some from local paint suppliers, so going to spray it one over the next few days.Thanks to all.Hope the COF people are suitably impressed.

If you have done repairs or there is any reason to suspect things might be iffy underneath the COF people might be anything but impressed, especially if it is a thick underseal type coating.
If you suspect any trouble might be best to show them before spraying it on.

or else just spray it on and go over a dusty road whilst still tacky hahaha

I love underseal.

A thick, semi-waterproof (especially once it dries out and starts to crack up a bit) blanket just right for trapping water and mud against the underside of your wheel arches and your boot floor, so that rust may flourish there!

Drop in a British engine and gearbox, the steady release of oil from all the seals will soon coat your chassis in the best corrosion treatment of them all.

They actually suggested that I needed to get some underbody protection on it last time.All is perfect, but would like it to remain so.Its a Mitsi Canter Motor Home, so no oil leaks.Will also inject all the voids with fish oil as well.

for the fish oil i would reccomend wurth body wax does not go hard and flake a problem you might have also with a lot of underseals as richard has said they will harden over time and crackmaking perfect areas for rust to start and go unnoticed for years until it becomes a problem

So true, just remember to top the oil daily before you drive.
