It is worth it? Is it expensive?

Yes ..... & no

Well worth doing, as they do tend to rust underneath.

Costwise - I think the going rate is between £100.00 - £150.00 depending on where you go.

Or you could spend a weekend under the car getting covered in crap & do it yourself!

Waxoil - Yes Yes Yes!!!.

Don't get someone to do it. Do it yourself, and you can do it for £40, and you'll have the sprayer for next time (i do mine every year in September).

You can get all the stuff including sprayer from Halfords or other local car place.

Don't worry too much when you fire it up first aswell. It will smoke, but that;'s just the oil burning off the exhaust.

Just make sure you wipe off any large excesses first

If you don't waxoil, make sure you do something else, as they do rot rather quickly if not looked after

Waxoil is fine providing the chassis is good and dry. If the powder coating has lifted it can trap moisture under the waxoil and merrily eat the chassis.
