To rust proof or not to rust proof...
Gidday all,
Had my '04 GU patrol wagon since new, and we have decided to go to Moreton Is. this chrissy.
Should I rust proof the ol' girl or not. She has electronic rust prevention since new
Also any good rust proofers on Brissy southside.
Chhers

Why not have both electronic and a physical barrier , for a once or twice a year beach work use fish oil or ensis fluid if you dont have a compressor just use a spray bottle

Yeah I know but its a daily and Ive seen what salt can do to a loom after being in salt water.
Who knows in the future things may change. I hope so

If it's already got electronic rust prevention.. Well your not going to get another one are you. Just give it a diy spray job underneath and spend a descent amount of time cleaning the car after every trip. Sorry I cannot recommend anyone in brissy.

If it's already got electric rust prevention, then don't need to go too crazy. I would just slap some fish oil underneath beforehand, and when u get home run a good sprinkler under your car for a good amount of time to flush the sand out.
Just avoid water and should be sweet.

I use to use something like this, for about 15-20 mins in each quarter of the troll. Worked well. Blast the pressure washer through the chassis and cross members and all sweet.

Not a fan of the sprinkler thing , it removes the sand but not any of the salt residue , only pressure gets it off , if you have a roof rack / basket remove that when ya wash it to , there's a reason the gutters rust , and give the shiny bits a good polish before hand ,
