I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
Allow me to quote the suggested surface prep for Chassis Saver I once came across:

Step 1: Return it

Step 2: Buy something better.


*Disclaimer - I have never used Chassis Saver, I just found this funny.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Damn... from all my reading it seemed like chassis saver was one of the better products out there.

it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
Rust bullet....por 15....

They are awesome at hiding the continued process of rust....as it never sleeps..even when thoroughly smothered in a blanket of goo....just cause you tuck it in ..don't mean it goes to sleep

You're supposed to put it on the chassis... not the floor... it's not Floor Saver

Yeah funny guy... turns out the drips react to co Crete and create nice foamy bubbles that are damn near impossible to remove.

I've had way better luck with chassis saver than por 15. What did you paint it over?
