I have discovered that fine pitting on the underside of my GU patrol is starting to develop specks/evidence of light rust.
Hardly surprising as it has done most of its distance on dirt travel + beach use. When at the beach/sandhills, I hose it down underneath when I return that evening. All that grit/rock/stone has blasted any protectorant off & now.....
I need to stop the rust & ..................
I need to reseal
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I used an underbody paint sealer I bought from Supa$hit Auto.
Comes in 1 or 4 litre, I simply got under the truck with the water-Jet blaster and cleaned all down first then after a run around
the block to quick dry sprayed all under - chasis- diffs - floor pan etc. Took a couple of hours.
Been on for over 12 months and all good. The only thing I do though is spray the under-side of the chasis rails after a few trips up bush - where
rock scrapes happened along the way.
