I would kill for a lift like that! Even though there's no need for it, I'd be putting Graphene on my undercarriage if I had one. ?
U would kill for chineese steel worth of 1500 €uros??? :giggle: waxing and fillin waxing and fillin …:beer:

For those in salted-road areas, understand that commercial car washes recycle a large portion of their water. They do run it through sediment filters (they should, at least) but that doesn’t remove dissolved salt. So, you have water with some salt content being applied under pressure to the undercarriage, which can penetrate farther than road-spray and seepage. I have used Fluid Film and New Hampshire Oil Undercoating, and both were effective. NH Oil Undercoating specifically recommends to avoid the undercarriage spray at the car wash.
Neighbor in Maine question, you’re happy with NHOil? Did you consider Ziebart?

I have used NH Oil Undercoating on two cars with great results. I have also been satisfied with Fluid Film. Haven’t seen Ziebart since the 1970s.

Sadly I am quite OCD when it comes to my vehicles. So I myself get rather thorough at least every spring. But here in the Philippines I don't have spring anymore so I feel lost. :LOL: I could show some pictures lol non Ranger at the moment. I have yet to get under the Ranger. But I am extensive in cleaning the wheel well areas.

I’m about a 1/2 drive to Gorham. I take advantage of your lower sales tax as much as I can plus a stop to the NH liquor store ?
LOL, the NH Liquor store, yet another good reason to have a pickup truck! =)
