Hello everyone,
I recently finished under sealing my EK9 and I thought that I would do a little write up on how I did it. The under seal that I used was Dinitrol Corromax (4 litres) and Dinitrol Car-4941 (4 litres) and was applied using a shultz gun.
I started off by removing the plastic mud guards and jet washing off the loose dirt in the arches at 60 degrees C. Once that was done I removed the wheels and blown dry with an air gun to remove the excess water from all the nooks and cranies, this took roughly and hour. i then began removing the existing under seal. For this I used white spirit and countless sponges and cloths lol.
As you can see thereâs still a bit of the original under seal remaining but I scrubbed until my fingers were bleeding so I decided that was staying there.
I began to remove the rear bumper, exhaust back box (only snapped one bolt lol) b-pipe and the heat shields from the underside.
I then removed the side skirts and was amazed that there was not a single bit of rust to be found on the sills.
I then removed the front bumper, headlights and wings. It was then time for the masking up. I found this part very tedious.
The underside:
Once all the masking up was done it was time for the first product (Corromax) to be applied all over the car. It was very messy and was very runny when it was applied so ended up dripping all over the floor. Once it was applied all over, I then left it over night, about 10 hours. After that time it looked like this.
As you can see its sets a brown colour and stays thick and tacky.
It was then time for the Dintirol Car-4941. This was a black colour and again was very messy but was much thicker than the Corromax so it didnât end up dripping all over the floor. Again I left it over night for about 10 hours. Once it set, the colour went from a glossy black to more of a matt black but with some shine in it (if that makes any sense lol) and also stayed tacky.
I removed the newspaper and this is what it looked like.
I then was going to cover the front end with hammerite but what I thought was enough turned out not to be so I only had enough at the time to do just the cross member.
