How to Remove Rust From an Underbody of a Car - The Complete Guide 

What is red oxide ? And combi colour? Also under body sealant should I go to hardware store or what? Thanks anyway I got the first half and that’s where I am at on my truck

He’s telling us to get them at the same place we get our high tension bolts and duel dipsticks. You know where Woolco is ? Well it’s no where’s near there

@losttheplot26 clearly I'm here cause I need the Intel..07 Escalade lots of surface

Thanks for that

You're absolutely right that many rust converters only deal with surface rust and simply cover it up. However, the mechanism of FERTAN Rust Converter is quite different. The tannins contained in the product react with Fe3 Oxide (rust) until it's entirely dissolved, effectively removing even large layers of rust. This is less common in the automotive sector due to the thinner sheet metal, but it's often seen in industrial applications or among our marine customers. Once the product has decomposed the rust layer and encounters Fe2 (bare metal), it complexes a layer of zinc phosphate that protects against further corrosion. This layer can then be painted over with any conventional primer. We'd be more than happy to provide you with more information about the chemical processes of the product.

lanolin based

@@Teeveepicksures lanolin based stuff are not converters they are undercoat / under seal which is a way better option In my opinion

@@Teeveepicksures No, our rust converter is not lanolin based. If you want more information and the technical datasheet, please get in touch with us via email: contact@fertanusa.com

@@tonygoshive785 That's what I'm saying.

Only if you get your back on a roller and share an earbud with the mechanic

It’s a battle of attrition against rust. Unless there are significant undertakings with the engine, transmission, drivetrain, frame, etc, you should fight that battle and get 5-10 more years out of it.

We are in the USA just since a couple of years but in Euopre since 1979

I’m planning to do the same to mine 😅 the car is definitely a labor of love.

Literally looking into this right now because i bought an fj today.

we clean the underbody with our rust converter

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I am absolutely agree with you, we launch a new full video in the next 4 weeks. Is there anything I can help you with and answer some questions?

@@fertanllc1945 do you weld plate in wherever the frame is thin because of grinding off rust?

@@dambroangling2828 If it gets too thin that is recommended, but in this case we didn't do that.

The customer used a grinding wheel, but it is sufficient to use a wire brush and clean the surface with a silicone remover before applying the rust converter.

could you send us an email then I would like to share with your our full ebook for different restoration steps contact@fertanusa.com

Step 1: Cleaning with a High-Pressure Washer To begin the underbody restoration process, it's crucial to start with a clean slate. Use a high-pressure washer to remove any dirt, grime, and loose rust particles from the underbody. Pay close attention to the nooks and crannies, wheel wells, and suspension components. A high-pressure washer will effectively dislodge debris, preparing the underbody for further treatment. Step 2: Applying Rust Converter and Letting it React Rust is the archenemy of any vehicle's underbody, but it can be effectively neutralized using FERTAN rust converter. After thoroughly cleaning the underbody, apply the rust converter to any visible rust spots. The rust converter works by chemically converting iron oxide (rust) into a stable compound that can be painted over. Allow the rust converter to react for the recommended time (typically 24 hours) to ensure maximum effectiveness. Step 3: Washing off the Rust Converter Once the rust converter has had sufficient time to react, wash off the underbody with water to remove any dissolved rust and residue. Pay close attention to the areas where the rust converter was applied. Use a high-pressure washer or a hose to ensure a thorough rinse. By removing the dissolved rust, you create a clean surface ready for the next step. Step 4: Applying Stoneguard Protective Undercoating After cleaning off the rust converter, it's time to provide long-lasting protection to the underbody. Stoneguard protective undercoating is a durable, resin based coating that guards against corrosion, impact, and abrasion. It acts as a barrier between the underbody and road debris, protecting against chips and scratches. Apply the stoneguard undercoating evenly across the underbody, paying extra attention to vulnerable areas like the wheel wells, frame rails, and suspension components.

We are buying them from an agency that produces video content, so we need to check with them about where you can purchase them and who the artist is. I will try to figure it out and let you know.
