Many thanks guys to all who have contributed. I still do plan to seal the body in some product but at this time, I haven't heard from anyone who has used Sharkhide or Zoopseal or another product. Any takers?? My car is a genuine AC and like your own, is worth a reasonable sum of money. I want to preserve it as best I can. I plan to pass my car on to my children when I am no longer able to drive it, but hope it will always be kept in the family. I therefore want to finish it to the highest standards, which will hopefully pay dividends in the long term. I once spoke to Steve Gray from Brooklands Motor Company here in the UK. He told me the majority of his restoration work is as a result of the underside aluminum- particularly around the sills where the body is wrapped around the frame creating a natural water trap- falling apart!! Paul F you are quite right, it is the underside and hidden areas you need to be particularly mindful of.
