I think the time has come for me to invest in some chassis treatment. My concern is, I want to make sure I get a thorough and pro job. Any recommendations please? West sussex area.

I'm sure you already know the answer.

The only way to get waxoil into the areas most vulnerable to rust is to do it yourself. Garages spray the waxoil on. Spray waxoil doesn't go around corners so they don't get it onto the tops of the outriggers or between body and mounting plates.

It really isn't that difficult to do and you'll feel very satisfied with yourself when the job is complete. Most of all you'll be able to rest easy that your chassis is as protected as it can be. This is truly a labour of love. If the garage monkey doesn't love your car he will only coat the visible surfaces.

Seconded. It's a disgusting, frustrating job - but the only way to be sure it's been done properly.
