2009 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black

Corrosion Protection..

Hello everyone..

Im new to Land Rover ownership...Iv got a SVX hard top.
Im very happy with it, as it's a good... go anywhere classless 4x4 without the chelsea tractor mummy taking kids to school image.
Being a tradesman and not affaid to get my hands dirty, I had to take a look under the motor.

Well.......where is all the rust proofing.??

I cant believe a hardcore 4x4......which retails at 30 grand....with all the rust prevention of a builders wheel barrow.

After web searches for a few evening I found a company local to me in St.Albans..Hertforshire.
I contacted the guy by the name of Michael and the business is Rustmaster.

He was great on the email..quick response and really helpful...no big sell
I booked my Defender in.....it was done yesterday and I picked it up today.
Im really pleased with it and I dont say that lightly
The chassis...doors...bonnet and A-pillars are injected with a clear wax
The complete underneath and inside wheel arches are sprayed in a hard black wax.

The job is professional and none of that gunk has found its way onto the seats or carpet (sorry it has carpet

)

This has all been done for a fair price...Michael will also drop you anywhere local and pick-up too

If you want to look after your vehicle...have it done.

Regards Jonathan

Good work. Rustmaster have a good reputation.

I need to do some work on mine before I have the underneath coated - I don't really want to be scraping waxoyl away every time I need to change or adjust something. However, it's one of those things that keeps gnawing away at me. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
