It was a few weeks ago, before Big Jimny and tyres. Seems like years ago!!
I'll find it tomorrow and post it.

No rush. tar.

EDIT; Ok yeah, i just found some. Seems he has had some major complaints. I know everyone in business gets this from time to time, but its kinda put me off for now. Plus because the Jimny is new, the company wont be familiar with its underside and arches etc.

Nice heads up, appreciated. I'll phone my mate now and upset his evening ;-)

Holy cow!

This is a retraction of my desire to get my Jimny Waxoyl'd by a company based in Rugby (wont add the name here again).

From doing some extra research on a tip off from Guy 2, I DO NOT intend on using this rust-proofer.

Thanks.

If you are buying a new car - you will not have to worry about treating rusty bits. A wash down, thorough drying (like a hot Summer day or two) and then a warmed up can of Waxoyl and a couple of £0.99 Plastic Plant Sprayers and you could easily do the job yourself. You will also ensure the Waxoyl gets into all the nooks and crannies - unlike some commercial operator trying to see how to maximise the profit and minimise his use of time and materials. Just don't spray the exhaust or brakes! Also remember that Suzuki are using their own anti-corrosion coatings and if you are not keeping the car for 10 or more years you might ask "Why bother"?

Is there a more contentious subject in off-roading circles than Waxoyl v Dinitrol v Dynax v POR15 v Old-Engine-Oil v Fermented Meerkat Poo (made that last one up - but it probably works, and may smell better than Waxoyl)??

I dont know the answer to this, however before plastering your new Jimny with a non authorised rustproofing product it may be worth asking the Suzuki dealership if it will compromise the anti corrosion warranty?

My dealer reminded me that you get a 12 year anti perforation warranty. He wasn't sure whether that could be compromised by applying any sort of treatment.
