Default Underseal

I've noticed some surface rust on my inner arches that I want to deal with. At the minute it looks like simple surface rust that will brush off with a wire brush. On my rear arches there are no liners, but the front has a half liner covering a portion of the inner arch.

Is it as easy as buying a wire brush attachment, some rust treatment gel and underseal?

The whole car was undersealed last year but the arches were obviously not done.

Agree with The Rig. Also spray underseal is good to get into hard to reach places

It also blinds speed cameras........allegedly

Thanks guys. I'm gonna give this ago once the weather picks up a bit more in April. Quite worrying how much damage gets done by the bad weather we had over the winter.

I had the same on my car and I can recommend Dinitrol products HERE

I bought their small car aerosol kit ( DIN02S ) and still got loads left. I used 3125 along seams and then 4941 over the top.
