Calling admins,... shouldn't as above be better under this Board topic "Exterior & Accessories All Models" ?

Cheers!

So I emailed 'Rust Free Rustproofing' here in SEQ for some quotes to get Muxy all fitted out ongoing beach use.

To my delight I received a fairly comprehensive reply the next day.

I won't cut and paste the whole email, just a few of paragraphs. Can anyone tell me their thoughts regarding his prices/products? The packages seems to be the way to go!?

Thanks in advance.


--- Quote ---Typically would require some steam cleaning to achieve a clean dry surface for our products to adhere to. This cost is $50 per half hour and typically most vehicle would be clean in 30 minutes.

A full conventional Rust Proofing Spray, including Underbody, top side panels, and engine bay is $699.00. This gives barrier type corrosion protection to the window line of your vehicle.
 
A conventional Under Body Spray includes rust proofing, sound deadening service comes to $459.00. This service we spray all the underside of the vehicle with our rust proofing/sound deadening paint and also inside the chassis rails with our cavity wax.
 
We sell and install electronic corrosion control using the COUPLERTEC brand. This is manufactured here in QLD. A Standard 4wd unit for your type of vehicle is $729.00 installed. A Heavy Duty Unit is $829.00 installed. The extreme heavy duty unit 6 pad retails at $999.00 installed. This includes a 10year anti corrosion warrantee, from the date of vehicle manufacture. Warrantee is provided by COUPLERTEC and requires an annual inspection to keep warrantee up to date.

When choosing between an Extreme, heavy duty and a standard unit, you need to consider your vehicle application. A standard unit is recommended for occasional beach driving and the Heavy Duty for regular beach driving and the extreme for very regular beach work.

If you will be regularly beach or off road driving we recommend a package which includes underbody barrier spray, (protection against, stone chipping, sound proofing, corrosion)and electronic corrosion control. The Standard 4WD unit with underbody spray is $1099.00, (10 year anti corrosion warrantee). The Heavy Duty unit with underbody spray package is $1199.00, and the Extreme Heavy Duty unit with underbody spray package is $1399.00.

Is there a charge for the annual inspection?

A modern vehicle shouldn't rust within 10 years if properly cared for.
Electronic rust protection on vehicles  is such a load of CENSORED, may as well install a hi-clone while your at it  :BangHead: been there wasted my money on it when i was younger.

I agree with Rhyno in regards to electronic rust protection. I looked into this extensively and couldn't find one independent research document that backed up or even explained what these companies say their units achieve. On the other hand there are heaps of independent research docs that describe these units as rubbish - the sale of some units has even been banned in some countries under consumer law.
On the other hand I have read good things about rust proofing sprays and chassis waxes. I would defiantly invest in this type of protection and maintenance.
What do they do at the annual inspection? If the product works that well then there shouldn't be any rust or are they just checking the electrical connections?
Good luck either way Ironcobra!
