I have a gallon of wool wax that’s been sitting for the past 2 months because I haven’t decided the best application plan for my cars.
I have three I need to do. A Pacifica Hybrid, Model Y, and Bolt EV.
Anyways besides the Chevy both the Chrysler and Tesla are heavily dressed up with aero panels. The only thing exposed under them are the ends of the lower control arm, struts, and pinch weld jack points. HV battery components will need to be left bare so this is a majority of the space between the axles.
The Chevy is straight forward. But both the Chrysler and Tesla are giving me a headache due to how they’re covered up. My plan is to:
-drop the rear aero panel and coating the rear sub frame/surrounding body & suspension
-pull all 4 wheel well liners and coat behind them
-coat pinch weld area full length
-coat spots of the exposed front sub frame(mainly where the LCAs attach, leave panels on)
Is this overkill for such a covered up underbody? Should I say screw it and just coat what’s exposed and behind the side skirts? Does the aero covers make that much more of a difference against rust?
I only question this because I’ve rarely ever seen rust behind covers. It usually starts somewhere exposed and works its way back.
