I did my D3 with waxoil myself at 4 years old and a top up every 2 years after, it was as sound underneath 12 years later when we parted company as the day I bought it including brake pipes and side steps. I didn’t go the full monty like this fellow though It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I did research this time round.
Had the D2 waxoyled in a place near Newcastle who had been established a number of years however when I tried to book the 1st inspection I had all sorts of excuses why it couldnt be done.
Hes now ceased trading.
Looking back I suppose it was too good to be true for the underside to be washed dried and treated in a 10hr period.

The drive home was no picnic either with the smell of the waxoyl.
Had to drive with the windows open all the way

A lot of companies also don't bother to take out the wheel arch liners which is where the crud gets trapped

Having just this last week ( Thurs , fri , sat nights after work , 17hours on Sunday and another 13 on Monday ) spent nigh on 50 hours doing a recently purchased swb shogun i can attest it is a hideous job , which I never want to repeat.
At least 60% of that time was spent prepping , scraping wire brushing , sanding etc , all the rust from any and every part/item underneath , then Dinitrol rc800 rust converter then the 4921 hard wax protector.
I have various things that upset me vehicle related , the biggest being rust! Mine looked like it had been dragged from the North Sea , I’m guessing had spent a lot of its life near the coast, the interior, exterior were superb , and now mint after a bit of tlc, so I just couldn’t leave the underside to rot.
Now is the time as it’s so warm there is no chance of trapping any moisture under the coatings , this company may have heaters/ovens to address that , and the luxury of ramps, I did mine on axle stands on my ( uncomfortable gravel drive) and many a time I thought I couldn’t face getting up for work every day if this was my job
I at least know I have done a thorough job , not skipped any areas there is not a jot of visible rust anywhere underneath
Hopefully just top ups over the years will suffice.
Hope yours is as good and they do a proper job you Procrastination is the thief of time!!

This company is worth travelling to be used.
Good to see they are being very through with it.
Need to come to a SCAM curry to let us see it as I know 2 of us are looking at getting the undersides cleaned up.

I would have happily left it with someone too , but time and cost constraints meant it wasn’t happening.
I have had various suggestions of price from different places and I now know the attractively priced ones would only ever ha e been a basic clean and then a blathering of everything in under seal to just cover up the mess and rust they didn’t touch, trapping it in for it to rear it’s head at a later date, no way could sub £500 charged cover the labour never mind the produxts.
In total I spent £230 on dinitrol from Frosts, and my vehicle is a swb so obviously smaller than a disco.
Yours is looking good so far hopefully spot on upon pickup. Procrastination is the thief of time!!

I've been reading the testimonials on their web page sure sounds like the place to go it may be a bit of a trek but well worth the journey
