I recently got a service on my 2000 wrangler and they said I have "a touch or rust on my under-body, nothing to worry about". I take it down the coast about once every month and go camping on the beach. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a prevention spray of some sort that will help prevent any further rust? I do wash her after each each trip but I guess I cant reach some spots <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Any help would be greatly appreciated! Re: Underbody rust prevention?

Someone from a coastal area will have to answer. Big JIm professional bovine relocation specialist Re: Underbody rust prevention?

However, contact with road salt and ocean water is an issue to address. First step is preventative maintence. After your trips to the beach, give the undercarriage a good washing. For the spots, clean it good with a wire brush and apply a quality primer coat of paint,followed by a top coat of regular auto body paint. I would use a high temp resistant paint. BTW, Rust Bullet (see ad banner at top of page) provides good quality automotive paints. Last edited by KF6ZPL; 01/24/15 06:16 AM.

I will be tackling the rust spots this weekend with a bit of luck. I found some stuff called Fluid Film and got a couple of cans, I'll give the under body a good coat after the scrub <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for your help guys!
