Preventative maintenance suggestions?

I believe all the chassis is galvanised , they gave it a quick squirt of underseal to stop the bits that weren't galvenised going rusty

I had a jaguar coated with dinitrol , it was solid at the time and looked brand new underneath when it was finished but after a few years the floor rotted , I won't be getting the mustang done , same reason I'll never fit a car cover, they do more damage than the elements will

So ford would have you believe, but there's an entire underseal thread that goes into this, make sure you've got an open bar, and a constant supply of snacks because it's long !

Well Ford have paid out good money on warranty to have poor undersealing redone on cars when requested - the UK cars are undersealed for a reason and if it was not required no way would Ford approve warranty rework - I had mine Raptor undersealed at Modurstang at my expense and after 2 years and daily driving it’s clean as a whistle underneath - but it must be done when the car is new and clean not sprayed over on an older vehicle

Clean the underside frequently, arches & floor pan. If using a pressure washer dont have it cranked up to max & get a proper angled underbody lance. My Karcher lance is cranked at 45deg & the fan nozzle can be turned. I had a Subaru & the rear wheel arch coating peeled off. Initially they said my pressure washer was the cause but then relented & recoated it.
The rear haunches behind the door will get stone rash & the bonnet may suffer.
