Just Been "Rustmastered"!
Had my day out with the Rustmaster today.
Up early and over to his place by eight o'clock, eager to see what is in store. Once there, I declined Michaels kind ofer of a lift on to St Albans for the morning, and chose instead to watch the whole rustproofing process from beginning to end. I must say that Michael is very thorough and methodical in his approach, as well as patient (having put up with endless questions from me!). He explained each step of the process, and was at pains to make sure that nothing was missed at each stage. My car has only done some 20k, so was quite clean underneath, however it was still a revelation to see the difference after the jet wash. All in all, a very worthwhile day and I must say I am very pleased with the end result. I have attached some piccys to give you an idea of what is involved - hope they work ok. Cliff PS - thanks to the club for negotiating the deal. |

The black underbody wax............ what does it cover? Does it go over brake pipes, suspension front and back? also do they take off the wheel liners to do up under there? One more question as you have mudflaps do they take those off to really get in under the wheel arches? Sorry so many questions but its worth knowing :lol: Lastly in your opinion was it worth the money? Ken |

My only question relates to health and safety.
Does this fellow not wear a mask or breathing apparatus? |

If the Rustmaster system is anything like the Dinitrol system, it is a very comprehensive treatment. They don't miss a spot underneath (except the heat shields), all cavities, doors, posts - you name it. The spray programs are developed in close cooperation with the manufacturers and by those in the know I am told that there is a corrosion prevention scheme in the MGR workshop manual.

The black wax covered just about everything - floor pan, brake pipes, suspension and running gear (minus the brake discs of course) the lot!
He didnt take the arch liners or mud flaps off, but to be honest, I don't think there's a need. He used a flexible extension on his sprayer to get behind the arch liners etc, and when he sprayed the wax, you could see it "misting" out of every crevice. It does leave a bit of a film on the paint work, but if (like me) you enjoy cleaning your Rover, it gives you just the excuse you need (if you don't like car cleaning, then consider your paintwork protected as well!) Interstingly, when he did the bonnet cavities, a fair amount of water was ejected from within. Goodness knows how long it had been there. The thick black wax is for the exposed areas, and it looks like it will do an excellent job in terms of protection. In terms of value for money - I suppose it depends on how long you aim to keep the car. Personally I intend keeping my 75 for a good many years, so to me it was definatly worth it. All in all, I think I would recommend this process to anyone who really cares about their car and intends to keep it in the long term. Hope this helps, Cliff |
