I'm not a fan of the thick spray on stuff, it didn't work on my Defender.
Personally I'd find a dinitrol place and have them put the clear wax on, the black stuff makes a car an utter nightmare to work on and it in my view doesn't work. It also lets water get behind it whereas the clear wax from dinitrol etc are a lot eaiser check and top up and far less of a manky mess when you need to undo/inspect.

I'd look elsewhere personally.
Certainly know of a growing number of folk with a poor experience of them, myself included.
You'll get the confident chat of how good a job it'll be, but the end result is far from it. Then when it goes wrong, you'll get the same excuse that everyone seems to get, of an ex member of staff being responsible for the job.
They might be fine for newish cars/off the forecourt, but anything a few years old, is best sent elsewhere.

Car back home now and very happy with the work Preserve and Protect have carried out.
Went for the bronze finish which actually looks quite nice.
Little video below of the experience/costs for anyone else umming and ahhing about doing the same. May be of help.

Another happy Preserve and Protect customer here, I went there in November 2022, pics of my car are on the "Your experiences" thread - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
I missed yearly checkup in the summer of 2023 (if indeed there was one..) - never stopped raining, and I would need to drive there on a dry day to drive home again the same day. I know I could drop the car off for a few days, but my summer never allowed for that on dry days.
I am noticing a few small spots that are flaking off and showing a bit of rust, but not many and these do show fairly strongly as they are a different colour (I went black underseal)
Fingers crossed for me to give the car a thorough clean underneath and a touch up this year, fingers crossed we get a summer.
You mention you had the seem sealer, he offered it on my car, I said to have a look at the car when he had up on the ramp and do it if he wanted to, he messaged and said he did not do it as it was not necessary.
