I'm a new member so hello to you all.

I will be collecting my new Jimny next Monday and as I will be keeping her for a (hopefully) a long time I would appreciate any info. on sound proofing kits and corrosion protection both inside and outside.I don't have any info. on what is applied at the factory so details of that would also be appreciated.

Cheers

Roger

Welcome along.

I'm a fan of Hammerite metal paint as I've been applying it every 12-24 months to mine and it seems to keeping mine rust free.

There's all sorts of others that are a bit more modern.

Upon Raptor paint is well spoken of on here. I might try some in the summer.

As far as the sound proofing goes, I would save your time and money. As an old boss of mine used to say, "you can't get there from here".

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

Welcome to the forum. I have used waxoil under Dreadnaught from day 1 and reapplied every year with good results. If I were starting with an untreated second hand car so long as I thought it was sufficiently clean to spend the effort of deep cleaning the under side back to something like new I would use upol raptor. If however it was not going to be easy to get it to a decent start point I doubt I would bother and instead would save the money towards another Jimny in the future.
