Title: Subframe sprayer
Post by: Gaz mr-s on June 22, 2017, 11:17
I recently bought an '06 with only 8000 miles on it. I'm probably going to wash-out the subframe & then spray a rust-converter into it in-situ (not removing it) & then a wax of sorts.

I'm looking for suggestions as how to spray into the subframe. I assume it will be easier if it had a flexible tube, but that would require greater pressure....maybe electric?

Who's done similar & with what?

Waxoyl do a kit.  Nor cheap but it works.

Gary,

I've still got a can & a half of Dinitrol spray in the garage that I used on mine. I has a flexible hose that attaches to the can. You're welcome to borrow & use as much as you like. It's just sitting in the garage doing nothing. (Note to self -must do Patsy's subframe sooner rather than later).

Thanks for the offer Stewart....appreciated. For £15 the Dynax stuff seems a good one though.  This was created mainly for the rust-converter & applicator ideas.

Anyone got a guide as to where exactly to spray the subframe? Want to protect mine as part of preventative maintenance.
