Clear waxoil or non-clear (presumably black) waxoil.... which one's best (if any) - or just a personal choice thing??

I don't care - It could be Nurby blue colour.... I won't be looking at it that much to be honest.
Just thinking about protecting my baby.

Ron, bolts greased first then underseal. Your car will be fine with no underseal for some time but your bolts will seize in a few weeks of sitting in the wet

Can I ask a really stupid question?

Is undersealing the same as this? Mine's a daily driver and I'm paranoid about all the rubbish on the roads.

I almost cried when I had to take mine out last wekend as their's so much salt on the roads.

I would like to get it treated not sure if I like waxoil though. Do they mask of things like the exhaust or just coat the whole thing? I would trust Chris to do it and might get it done at the same time as my next geo and perhaps a drop and new KWs

I know there are alternative products that also help soundproof / deaden the road noise a bit.

I've already had to spray a number of bolts and fixing under the bonnet with clear waxoil (which is not clear) because they were starting to turn white or orange.
