WAR Hydrophobic Underbody Rustproofing / undersealing kits

WAR chassis and underbody care

Containing everything required to protect your chassis, leaving them with a surface that sheds moisture through hydrophobic nature, and is easy to maintain, and clean.

Chassis Rust

These kits force out moisture, and contain high levels of zinc and anti-corrosives, coupled with other technologies to protect your vehicle for years to come. War & RE have been fighting chassis rust in the 4x4 scene for years, and are the go to product for any discerning enthusiast. No wild claims, just backed up with our expertise and years and years of use by customers and businesses across the world.

Stripe Coating

Stripe Coating is the single most cost effective investment of your time and money to extend the protection offered by a chassis paint. Stripe coating guide here.

This kit will treat most chassis and axles of 4x4's. 

WAR is a zinc rich hydrophobic underbody superwax. It cures properly, and is very tough, and easy to maintain / clean. Just a wash down with a hose will keep war clean, but it will stand up to steam cleaning.

RE Rust Encapsulator is a zero rust creep, high adhesion non porous primer that deals with rust better than any rust converter. Its the perfect base to apply WAR to, but not essential. Using RE and/ or the RE stripe coat will drastically improve longevity.

HOW - TO RUSTPROOF YOUR CHASSIS

Process.

1. Clean, descale, and degrease chassis and axles (checkout our Abrasives section here, Degreaser Here)
2. Jet wash, steam clean where possible, including the cavities of the chassis (internal structure of the chassis -Chassis Wash gun
3. Drive vehicle, and / use the FX10 gun to air out the chassis 
4. Using Multi-Thinner topup a war schutz tin, and then replace the cap. shake the tin, for a minute, and then inject into the cavities using the FX10 gun and the included lance) if its spits/ doesn't spray well unscrew the adjustable nozzle on the FX10 gun a little more and/ or add a little more thinner to the WAR tin (you may need to decant some if cold)
5. Wipe down any overspray using a cloth with a small amount of multi-thinner on.
6. Apply Rust Encapsulator to the outside of the chassis (two coats), allowing it to change to a satin finish between coats (usually a few hours between coats) - TIP. top-up a Rust Encapsulator schutz tin with Multi-thinner using the same process as the war tin above. It will spray alot faster, and creep into rust and hard to reach areas faster.
7. Leave ideally overnight or 8+ hours prior to applying WAR. ensure you cannot put your fingerprint into the Rust Encapsulator prior to applying WAR.
8. Mask off the rear crossmember if a defender, as you will paint that in the FXLiner
9. Similar process for WAR on the outside. you can thin one down and wash the chassis over in it, and then use the remainder to apply a thicker coating. adjust the FX10 nozzle out to pickup more paint, and back in to reduce it.
10. Once the WAR has cured for a day, apply the FXliner to the rear crossmember (if your vehicle has one) overspray onto WAR is fine and helps to blend the products anyway.
