Re: Undercarriage protection question
I have no good suggestions cause my opinion is that its a car not a picture, DRIVE EM. If it needs to be perfect forever then I personally would just take a pic of it and blow it up then attach it to my garage wall so it looks like I have a beautiful Corvette in my possession. If I want a real car that runs and drives thats what I would do with it. Hope you find something that will work for you though!!!!! Enjoy your car, it is beautiful

Re: Undercarriage protection question
Whatever you put on there to “protect it“ will need to be washed off anyhow so personally I will just plan on putting it up on ramps and cleaning it thoroughly after I get home
Anything else will just make a mess that requires cleaning anyhow

I DO drive it! (It has 22k miles now.) But it's not my only vehicle so I have only driven it in nice weather up until now.

Re: Undercarriage protection question
I agree. But it's the thin white road film that I'm concerned about. It usually only comes of with physical agitation. That's hard to do in every nook and cranny underneath.
Something like a release agent that could be removed with a degreaser or pressure washer.
If I could figure this out I could rich...

Re: Undercarriage protection question
There's this: Griot's Garage Undercarriage Spray, Griots Garage Undercarriage Detailer, Underbody spray
There is another product called Bare Bones, I think, I can't remember if that is Chemical Guys or Adam's.
I have a car I wish I had never driven on wet roads, so I feel you.

Re: Undercarriage protection question
I've looked at both of these products. I'm not sure if they will do what I'm looking for. They seem to make the underside look nice after a cleaning or to prevent rust. I'm just trying to keep the road film at bay especially in hard to reach places.

Undercarriage protection question
Nice car. Unlike the earlier reply, I’m on the side that totally understands wanting to keep a car such as this [or whatever floats your boat] in like new original condition for as long as possible. There’s nothing like an original survivor especially as the years go by and things become more and more rare. If I had a mint 1960 Coupe Deville, I sure as heck wouldn’t be driving it on the weekdays for no good reason either...
As far as protection, I’m surprised nobody’s said Hydro Blue. I’ve never tried it, but people here always talk about how much they love it because it supposedly makes their wheels easier to clean. So how bout it guys? Would Hydro Blue work for his situation?

Re: Undercarriage protection question
Looks like my choices are limited by time. We leave Monday morning. If I take the car and want to do something about the underside, it has to happen tomorrow (Sunday ).
