Land Rover Defender in today for full rust proofing. Extra attention to rear arches to reduce water spray noise.

Best of luck! I sold mine after spending years welding replacement panels onto the chassis.

So what’s involved in the treatment? Is that foam looking layer the waxoyl? What if there is existing rust and does the age of the vehicle matter?

Yeah that's the waxoyl clear, it can be put on so you can hardly see it. But he wanted plenty on, which I recommend. Can also be got in black, or I can use dinitrol or tetraseal.

A complete pressure wash and then dried with heat and air before applying.

Personally I recommend waxoyl.

Any age of vehicle can be done. If there is existing rust it can be shot blasted off, however waxoyl stops it in its tracks. If any welding needs done we can do that.

Most vehicles require it before they get to that stage and of course it's the best time to do it. But anything is possible

You would look great it adds a new detention to spray tan, but a bit stiffer

That’s beyond repair. A definite Cvrt fail.

If rugged good looks and a devilish smile are points of failure on the CVRT then so be it. I can always take up boating.
