PORS 15 or underbody coating??

[Jasen1]

I have some kind of sticky black substance on my undercarrage, only in the rear though. It's probably a mix of old under coating and road tar. Will this degreaser work on that?, or do i have to remove that?

Also do you have to use por15 all at once, or can you do sections at a time? Some produducts will not adhere to themselves once they are dry. I

Thanks

I used Por-15 to do the trunk and wheel wells on my 73 Mach. Great stuff, but be warned, the process is time consuming. Another great product which will remove old tar-like undercoating is Peelaway-7.

Here's a link to my Trunk Restoration one showing before, next after Marine Clean + Metal Ready (Por-15 products), and finally after Por-15 coating.

Here's my Wheel Well Restoration detailing my use of Peelaway-7.

You will need a tar remover. Most auto stores carry this.

POR-15 adheres to itself very well. If you expect a problem for some reason a light scuff with scotchbrite will set the surface right for a feather of another section.

For application, it can be brushed, sprayed, rolled, dipped, take your pick. We spray it ourselves, but we do whole cars ar once. For small areas we use a 2" brush.

We have application instructions and tips on our website if that helps.

Well no, not really.. Exit 150 on I-30 east. It takes me exactly 2 hours to get to the shop from Grand Prairie. It's 107 miles from G.P. about 70-80 miles I'd guess from 635/30 on the East side. I can make it in just over 1 hour Or, we can ship in one day. Or If you don't mind waiting I can bring some to the homestead and you can pick up in Grand Praire.. Depending on your location your still an hours away Dallas is a big city...

You can also order online direct from the manufacturer. Their shipping speed is very impressive. Here in the northeast, It arrives the day after I order.

I think it's important to note that "Por-15" (www.por15.com) is the manufacturer. "Por-15 Depot" (www.stoprust.net) is a distributor.

I should also note that there is another product, which I have not personally used, but have heard others swear by: Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator

As an unbiased consumer, I think either one will yield good results.

You will need a tar remover. Most auto stores carry this.

The Tar remover sold at auto stores can't hold a candle to Peelaway-7. To find this stuff in your area, contact the manufacturer to get names of local distributors.
