Buzzweld U.P. Underbody preservation is a borosilicate glass re-enforced underbody clear lacquer with exceptional anti-corrosive properties..
UP Underbody Preservation Chassis Care Ceramic
U.P. is specifically formulated to be applied to a wet surface that has had minimal preparation. U.P. will offer short to medium term protection above that of oils, and other waxes at low preparation levels.
Benefits include
- Clear- U.P. does not hide existing issues. you can spot problems as they occur and maintain accordingly.
- LOW reactivity. U.P. is compatible with most existing paints and treatments making it ideal as a Patina Preserver, and a topup protection system.
- EXTREME creep from absorbtion, as well as capilary action.
- U.P. flows in between spot welds, and absorbs into corrosion forcing out the residual moisture and air, suffocating the ability for corrosion to continue.
- COST EFFECTIVE. U.P. 1000ML Schultz tin will treat up to a larger 4x4
- TIME effective. a U.P. underbody treatment can be completed in as little as 2 hours.
- FAST CURE. U.P. can be touch dry in as little as 30 minutes.
- High temperature tolerance. Survives on the exhaust system up to but not including the downpipe.
- Forces out moisture from wiring looms, and electrical connectors.
- Presents an easy to clean, hydrophobic surface.
- Vehicle underbody stays dryer for longer, and holds less water in adverse conditions.
- does not wash off or evaporate
- TOUGH- Difficult to remove even with a 155C steam cleaner
- Dries properley, does not wash away, or attract dirt/ debris
- Makes maintenance work ALOT easier- cleaner, drier, less rust.
- EASY to weld, or prepare an area that has been treated.
We estimate the lifespan of U.P. conservatively to be between 12 and 36 months to first maintenance. This is based on the level of prep you do, and more importantly the existing condition.
Minimum prep requirements for U.P. is to wash down the vehicle underbody, and apply. You can apply U.P. whilst the vehicle is still wet.
Recommendations to improve U.P. longevity.
- clean. the cleaner the underbody the better.
- wet. we recommend you use an air blow gun, or take the vehicle for a short drive prior to application where possible to remove excessive amounts of trapped water.
- steam cleaner. very effective at removing existng loose paint, and contamination. the more U.P. that is in contact with the vehicle, and not over existing oils, dirt, flakey paint etc, the better it will protect your vehicle.
- On poorly sealed vehicles we recommend you air the vehicle interior to remove solvents during the curing process. Modern vehicles will not typically require this.
Contents: -
1x 1L Schultz Tin. Can be applied by brush, spraying is recommended.
Aerosol version still in testing.
We recommend the FX11 Schultz gun for U.P. as it atomises better, and has much better access than a standard schultz gun. Also works with PCL, and IM gun. IM Gun offers the most control and access.

Thinning
Product Types
1000ml Paint Tin
Normal paint tin for brush / roller / thinning and spraying
1000ML Schutz Undercoating Tin
Stubby Schutz Tin. These tins work with our FX10 Spraygun & FX11 Spraygun. The gun screws directly on. To use a normal Schutz gun with a stubby schutz tin, you need to trim the pickup tube 75mm shorter.
5000ml Paint Tin
Normal paint tin for brush / roller / thinning and spraying
400ML Aerosol (traditional)
Traditional aerosol loaded with DTM RAL9005.
400ML Buzzweld Powercan The Aerosol powercan uses NO THINNER. as a result the can outputs the same amount of paint as a spraygun. This means less coats, a much higher film build and time saved. HOWEVER- the cans empty themselves very quickly. Protection VS coverage. When using a powercan you need to spray from further away. This can can also be used as a textured bedliner spray (comes with two nozzles).

Used this stuff in anger on a 22year old Subaru. Blast cleaned everything first then laid it on with gun supplied and brush. Fumes are really serious even from the open tin let alone vapor from spray. You NEED a good quality respirator and overalls. Stuff needs time to cure before you run the engine or any demisters as the fumes will contaminate EVERYTHING!
IT WORKS! I've tried other stuff over the decades, this is the ONLY coating that actually withstands punishment from a tough environment. The fact that you can see through it means it can't fool you into a false sense of security - like Waxoil does!
Stone chips in the wheel arches will knock it off though so will be re-coating and bed liner top coating the arches before Autumn.
Been brushing Buzz-UP onto all metal items since - bench vice, trailer frame & hitch, granddad's bike and next doors cats and dogs etc.
RECOMMENDED!

Easy to apply, rather sticky though, so wear some overalls. You can get it everywhere, and seems to be holding up well. Definetly stays drier and cleaner than usual. Plan is to top this up once a year as it takes me about an hour all in including washing it down to do the underside (wash, then spray it on).
