The Ibiza is 5 years old and there is noticeable rust developing on the subframes. The next stage in Ibiza ownership is seeing if it is possible to get to grips with this issue. I have seen online videos of older SEAT cars needing subframe replacements due to corrosion. This is a first attempt at treating the front subframe with Jenolite clear wax spray.

Image 1 is the right (off side) of the subframe showing corrosion:

Image 2 is the left (near side) of the subframe showing corrosion:

Image 3 shows the Jenolite clear wax spray I have used on this job:

Image 4 shows the left side of the subframe after treatment:

Image 5 shows the right side after treatment:

I didn't rub the steelwork down I just sprayed it on. I will see in time if I can declare it a success or not ?
