Yes, £380 - but he could do with the car for two days, and transport would then be an issue - also, rust less are based in the old BMW garage in newcastle - so the prospect of being able to walk around the town for 5 hours is better than being stuck inthe middle of nowhere for a day ! I have spoken to them, and they seem to know what they are about. But I can't find anyone who has used them.

It can be difficult to chose....Rustmaster, Rust Less, Rustbuster, there are several companies all charging about the same professing to be the best. A recommendation takes alot of legwork and time out of the process. Do they offer a five year guarantee, free reinspection and reapplication before the 5 year point? If so you've got nothing to lose! In my eye any work is only as good if it's backed up by a good guarantee!

I get mine done my JSF 4x4 in Norfolk.
They do want the vehical for a couple of days but that is so they can steam/pressure wash the underside and de-grease it and then let it dry overnight before applying the waxoil so it's not going over the top of mud or traping water in places. I can see how all this can be done in 5 hours unless they put the vehicals in an oven to dry! |

assuming we're talking about a fairly new truck here.....
why not just get a couple of aerosol cans of waxoyl from halfords and DIY ? am I missing the point? |

I was informed that coverage takes approximately 15 to 20 litres on the vehicle, that's a
 load of cans! Also you cannot atomise the waxoyl sufficiently enough to get into all the difficult to get to places that you can reach with the correct equipment/lances! If you want peace of mind and a proper job either leave it to someone who has the correct equipment, buy the equipment yourself or miss the point and go to Halfords and do a half ar5ed job yourself with spray cans! Having spent a bucket load of money on a practical vehicle is it not worth a further investment of less than 1:5% of the new purchase price to protect it? It should have been done at manufacture I think! Just an opinion!

My TD5 Ninety took 15 litres. All interior panels were removed and the chassis coated inside and out. You can't do all that with aerosol cans. |

Hi all, well, arrived in Newcastle Under Lyme at 9:30 - car went straight onto ramps and steam cleaned - left at around 4pm fully waxoyled underneath, and with cavities treated with the creamy version !
All in all, very pleased - £380 well spent in my opinion and the car looks like new again, hopefully thats it for a few years with possible minor touch ups on scuffs www.vhcengineering.com 01782 615441 give them a try ! |
