Any suggestions on what to use to get rubbery undercoating looking new? Has dirt and grime in it. Maybe a rubber care product?
 Thanks, Tod |

Were the cars undercoated at the factory or by the dealer? Mine has no undercoat. If factory, did it appear on the window sticker/COA as an extra cost option?

QUOTE(Porsche Rescue @ Feb 16 2009, 11:15 AM)  Were the cars undercoated at the factory or by the dealer? Mine has no undercoat. If factory, did it appear on the window sticker/COA as an extra cost option? They were not undercoated by the factory, though I've a couple of sworn-to tales. Sometimes the dealer would do it, at additional cost (which should show on the bill of sale). Many times they were done aftermarket, particularly by a company named Ziebart, and particularly in the rust belts. My 914 is such an example, and has benefited from the process. It was a very thorough, yet messy process - required lotsa cleanup & years of oozing in hot weather! Pat |
