great rustproofing service Johnstone
Discussion
I just had my 1999 Jag XJR done by Mark at http://www.preserveprotect.co.uk/home/4589517363
He is a proper enthusiast and the underside of my car has been undersealed beautifully. He also did various cavities/doors with wax.
He took the trouble to tidy up a couple of small things which other garages/bodyshops had missed, at no extra cost.
I cannot recommend the guy highly enough.
So refreshing in an age of tradesmen who cant be bothered!

Cost? Yes, no problem. Chap quoted me £600 - £650 depending on what he found when the car was properly cleaned. 2-3 days for the job.
He ended up contacting me to say he'd like to keep it for another day to apply/cure extra dinitrol stuff. While he had it he fixed a loose bumper element and made new fixings for my wheelarch covers, both of which jobs (2)other bodyshops had failed/forgotten/couldn't be bothered to fix.
I got £750 together for the guy, reckonning he'd charge a bit extra. Got there, he had done a magnificent job and charged me £600. A properly decent chap.
I assume its cheaper if you just want the underseal, but I got the full cavity treatment since old Jags literally disappear before your eyes over the winter. Annual inspections are free and encouraged.
Also a very nice guy. Totally differnt to most of the dross currently working in automotive maintenance.

The underside of my wee car looks ace now, just about as nice as the topside 
har har, same here, in fact I think he actually got the underside looking better, so I'm going to have to get the wax out if the rain ever stops! 
Glasgow/Central Scotland has definitely been crying out for a rustproofing service like Mark's.

The car is a 1998 BMW Z3M coupe. I'll have a look next time it's on the ramp to see how the factory protection is fairing, if it's looking rough I'll might get it booked in for a refresh
My car is a 1999 jag and it wasn't at all bad for rust, but when they cleaned the underside tons of the factory underseal was flaking away, so I was glad I caught this (the whole floor of these older jags can disappear fairly quickly if left to its own devices ). So well worth it to check the condition of your underseal.I had my car back in at Preserve Protect to get some mudflaps on Wednesday. When we took a good look, we noticed the guys who had fitted and painted the new front wings had missed out the anti-stonechip paint on the lips of the arches, so Mark kept the car for a couple of days to seal, cure, and coat all the relevant bits before fitting the flaps. Got it back today and its another really tidy job. All for the price of taking the kids for a burger.

My dads Jag is going there tomorrow for the belts and an alignment at them on Friday....
I use them for the Disco to get alignment. Decent service from them as well.
they are really helpful and do take the time to explain what they are doing. It takes me 90 minutes to take the car over (I live in the Ayrshire countryside), but its worth it for the peace of mind.I use them for the Disco to get alignment. Decent service from them as well.
Was back at Preserve & Protect today.
Sold the XJR a couple of years ago and bought an X150 XKR. Aluminium construction, so no rust problems, or so I thought.
Underneath there are loads of steel subframes and suspension parts. At a recent service we noted quite a bit of corrosion starting on these steel components.
Headed along to Mark's rustproofing service to find he has expanded into the adjacent (large) unit and business is booming. We had the car up on the ramp and identified a lot of areas where rust was beginning to take hold. Car went in on Tuesday and got it back today. During the week he sent me update pics (underneath cleaned/rust treatment/dinitrol underseal application).
As before, he has done an amazing job and I am well impressed.
Same charge as 2/3 years ago. Nice guy. Highly recommended.
