Quick note on acf50
Used it for years on my bikes , never seen any rust.
My defender side step was showing spotted rust after 4 weeks , treated it with acf no rust in 11 months.
I also dab all the bolts and rivets twice a year and wipe excess off.
Careful a very small amount goes a long way .
For me its in addition to dinitrol and in a can allows me to spot treat any problem areas .

Truck has been 2 days at the dealer's body shop. They did not remove the entire capping as apparently that would mean taking good part of the body apart, but they removed the pop rivet, and treated the rear side of the capping with rust inhibitor and anti-rust paint via the rivet hole, then put a new identical pop rivet back in, and painted it all back as original.
Looks all picture perfect now, let's hope that this little rust spot does not come back anymore.
All was done by Autobritt dealers under the extended rust warranty without a problem. Thumbs Up
Later this spring the truck will go to Basel for a Dinitrol reapplication, and I believe those guys know how to treat with Dinitrol behind those cappings too.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
