undercarriage rust protection prep

Post by dalkill »

I'm planning to put some rust protection to undercarriage .

to prep to have best application I want to have the undercarriage cleaned as best as possible.

I thought steam clean is best. But then i read of someone with jeep having major issues after steam clean. ICU busted or something like that.
and then you simply cannot find a undercarriage steam cleaning operation in CT.

So now i have to settle for normal pressure wash. Can anyone please recommend somewhere close to CT CBD (woodstock / salt river as well), or close to northern suburbs, where the guy doing rust protection is.

Why don't you ask the guy who is going to do the rust protection. Surely he has regular dealings with the cleaning services

unfortunately he says does not know anyone in his area. He does blast the vehicle himself with air but that just to get dust off.

I'm taking it to Eileen's son Rickus. He has taken over the business from his mom.
