    Waxing under rocker panels

    Hey guys. Is it necessary to wax the underside of rocker panels where all the road grime and what not usually ends up? I've always wondered about it.

    Thanks!

    If that is where most of the road grime ends up I would think that is one of the most important places to put protection.

    That's what I've always thought as well I just haven't seen people really talk about it so I wanted to see what others think.

    It's important, however it's sometimes overlooked due to the fact that that area can sometimes ruin a perfect applicator.

    Important, yes. Also very important to have dedicated applicators and towels for such abused areas.

    Agree. Or at the very least wait until the very end to "wax" that area.

    Re: Waxing under rocker panels

    My rocker panels have plastic covers on them, so I can't 'reach' them to wash or wax, BUT I had the car undercoated at the shop I used to work at and I know they are well protected from the nasties that splash up
