Has your Skyline been treated for salt on the roads? - Page 5 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

I do mine every year without fail.
It's jacked up in the garage with all four wheels off and all the plastic cowlings removed.
I use waxoyl in the small spray cans. I find them small enough to get into all the tight area's, and have the added bonus of getting them free from work.
I did mine last week and it took 16 cans to thickly cover the whole underside and the wheel arches.
I don't actually use the car over the winter months, but it still helps keep the rain water out.
(remember JAE)

Well to do it properly, which is the only way to do it in my opinion, its gonna take more than a day!!

It took me about 6-8 months but was well worth it in the end.

Didnt use the wax oil but a rubberised sealant.

Seriously thinking about applying some wax oil on the running gear underneath at a later date.

Word of WARNING! you could potentaily loose your sanity, with the constant search for perfection. Im sure im the result of a new phobia of rust!.

Here's a few pic's, but to see the whole journey just click on my thread at the bottom of my post.
