I started to do some underbody rust protection at the weekend, so jacked up the car and took the side skirts off to see what it was like underneath! I am pleased to report the sills came up really nicely after a quick clean with a sponge.

There are a few very small bobbely areas around two of the plastic clips, but I will rub them down and treat them with kurust/paint as they can't be seen one the skirts are back on.

After that I attacked the underneath with a jet washer and will give it a good going over with wire brushes next weekend before using Dinitrol RC900 then underbody seal and cavity wax. I hate the idea of water getting into any little rusty areas if I ever do go out in the wet weather.

Any tips on other areas to look at while the car is up? Should I take the rear mud flaps off and clean all of that up, or is that asking for trouble? They look pretty good but not perfect.

I will try and take more before and after photo's next time.
