Bought my 14 GMC SLE DC at the end of May, was a lease in Ohio with plenty of car fax maintenance records. It had some frame rust showing under the rear fender liners and various other areas. After reading through this thread and the various results others got from the dealer, decided to do it myself. First pressure washed the frame on low pressure and let it dry for a day. Used a wire brush, the kind with the wooden handle, and hit the rust to remove the scale/slag, then blew off the frame with a leaf blower. Decided to use Chassis Saver and foam brushes, be sure to buy a lot of brushes. I painted the entire frame including right over the factory wax to get a uniform look. it's been a couple of months now and it still looks like I just did the job. I want to get a second coat on but that will happen in the fall. Things I learned, read and heed the instructions. One quart should provide one coat on entire frame. It's wise to buy the S8 reducer Don't use a red Solo cup, ate through the cup in 30 minutes, switched to thicker tupperware. Foam brushes deteriorate after about 15 minutes, switched to horsehair and was fine. Use a large piece of cardboard to catch slag and drips. I drilled holes in the lid and sealed them with aluminum HVAC tape. Work in well ventilated area, did mine in the garage and the house smelled for a few days. The sooner you use S8 the easier it is to remove.
