911 - rust prevention
I was looking for someone to waxoyl a 911 and was hoping to find someone who could do the box sections under pressure.
I found these two companies - both within reach of London.
Before'n'After (Newbury)
Rustmaster (Hertfordshire near Luton)
(both '.co.uk' - but I added no links as I thought that might be considered to be advertising)
Has anyone used either of them or have a better idea as to how to rust proof an ex California Targa.
Of course without taking it to bits I will not know if is already rusty but I would like to think that I have tried my best to prevent the rust wipe-out.

I was not very inspired by black stuff either so it is good to know that it can be clear as well.
Nick - Having learnt from your web site about California cars rusting from the inside out, I was rather anxious to get the waxoyl (or whatever) to the inside where the rust might be lurking. Hence my search for someone who might know how to do this.
I would like to get it done at least the first time by someone who has some experience of doing it properly rather than doing a bad job myself and regretting it later.

He did mine in black waxoyl a few weeks ago - looks great IMO - weatherproofed now too, so I can relax a bit. Came to just under £300 all in.Bootsy wrote:Actually I have a feeling that he wax oyled MDr's 911jb wrote:Thanks Bootsy
