Will Rhino Lining stop the corrosion

[LLRubylady]

Do you think Linex or Kevlar exterior would stop the bubbling?
I've seen some jeeps with the exterior coated and it looks great.

Only if it’s applied to property prepared surfaces. It cannot be applied over the corrosion to stop it.

Have anyone successfully fixed their corrosion using the same hinges, doors, hood etc, I've seen posts of the corrosion coming back.

This is probably correct.
I think once it starts, it won't stop. You can probably slow it but I think it will continue. My neighbor just replaced all the hinges on his 2018 JK and I don't know if his actual doors have issues or not.
I had my doors (interior) and body panels treated at a body shop. I did it a few weeks after we took possession of the vehicle. The bodyshop friend used a Wool Wax type product.

For the underside and rock rails, I used PB Blaster Surface Shield which is like Fluid Film.

I sprayed PB Blaster Silicon Lubrication into the hinge gap areas on all 4 doors hoping some front end prevention might keep anything from starting up.

So yours was never outside in rain? a dealer order?
interesting thing to do. Wonder what the long term will be with wool wax.

So the doors would need to be sandblasted first I'm thinking? That sounds expensive

Correct. Any corrosion needs to be completely removed and the proper primer applied before applying the bed liner. If the door seams are corroded then the doors will likely need to be replaced or it will just come back at some point.

I don't quite understand what you mean by being out in rain. It has seen plenty of rain, snow and unfortunately, road salt.

The vehicle came off a dealer lot from out of state. It was likely driven here or trailered but I think it was driven. It is a lease. We lease through a friend. We have done buyouts on a few of our vehicles in the past, but we usually wait to see if we like the vehicle before we decide.

The only Mods I've made are mods I can take back if we decide not to buy out the lease.

That said, I wanted to do some easy and affordable prevention up front should we decide to buy this out. Rust and corrosion are a big downer IMO so anything I can do to prevent it is worth doing if it is affordable.

Our bodyshop friend doesn't do underbody stuff, just the panels and doors with the waxy spray stuff. I'm hoping it keeps rust at bay. I do wash the rig frequently. Getting road salt off is a ritual here in MN.

You could have the rust spots sanded down and treated first, then apply Line-X or a Kevlar coating, it’ll not only seal it up but also give the Jeep a tough, clean look that holds up really well against scratches and weather.

that's good to know. So if I get corrosion I can spot treat with good prep and do the whole door. The Raptor liner looks easy enough to spray a patch coat if it should come off for any reason.

I was thinking of doing the same on new purchase. Ideally would order one so it doesn't have many days of sitting on lot somewhere getting rained on.

Aaaaaahhhh,

Got it!

As long as things are clean and dry you should have no issues with the preventative stuff.

The bed liner is something you definitely want to make sure is applied to a moisture and corrosion free surface.

We use corrosion X on aluminum on airplanes it works great. I have used them on my cars too. I live in salt climates and no rust.
