Rust proofing

[tombo5609]

I recently had a service on my 2003 E270CDI and it was reported that there was extensive rust showing on the underbody.
Before I find myself sitting on the floor can any member recomend a rust treatment service in the Warrington -Chester area .
I have read conflicting reports regarding the benefits of Waxoyl versus other products, does any member have experience of a treatment that will keep rust at bay. it is otherwise a lovely car and I have just spent a small fortune on getting it right.

Suggest that you contact MB Tech at Warrington for advice.

Hi JP, that is where I had the service done that reported the rust. They mentioned a company that does waxoyl treatment but I have heard that waxoyl is prone to drying out and cracking allowing water to get behind the treatment.
Did hear of another product but cannot remember what it was.

In the Land Rover magazines is a chap called Before N After Rustproofing, he talks a good talk and has been doing it for a long time, why not give him a call

Before 'n' After - Classic car rustproofing since 1987

I really must find the time to waxoyl the 124 and the 202 and the 210 and the 208

I got my '84 R107 waxoyled at Rustmaster near Knutsford (contact is Nick Gresty). Not cheap but did a good job as far as I could see.

However I currently have the car in for some TLC at Hilton & Moss Bishops Stortford and was gently told off by Parry Chana (according to this website an expert on the R107) that Waxoyl is not a good agent to use as it remains sticky over time, collects mud and therefore can encourage rust. Parry is very keen on the use of MB approved materials but I am not sure what that is in this case. I pick the car up on Tuesday and will ask him ....

The drawbacks of Waxoyl have been mentioned before.
I have heard that Dinitron is a superior product but of course it is all down to individual preference!!!.
