i believe they remove and treat any surface rust and they offer a welding service aswell if needed. read quite alot of good reviews on them on pistonheads etc

Seems a fair price to me...........DINITROL treatment has worked for me over the years,
saved wheel arches/sills & underbody, car has seen 15 winters, road SALT is the killer!!

They offer various different packages and prices, mine should only need the lowest package around £250.

Who did yours and what is wrong with it?

Mine was just a quick £200 wax oil treatment.
The company your looking at seems a lot more indepth.
Which is good , thats all.
Tdr did mine , which was fine , it wasnt really that rusty anyway.

Having reaserched and gone through the process myself last year, I wouldn't trust a £200 underseal to do a good job, good quality products would probably cost almost that much alone if it is to be done properly.
As above, without doing complete strip and sanding down to metal, underseal will never get rid of rust but will slow things down a lot.

My mechanic used Bilt Hamber primer and Upol Raptor to coat, both highly recommended, seems solid after 13 months but I'm still worried about it rusting from the inside. Jap cars from that era seem to rust as hell

Dinitrol is very good , i used about 6 500mm cans and did it myself , if you have
rust there already then it needs taking back and a rust treater put in it , and a good pressure wash to get any other deposits off the car , 4 cans of dinitrol plus an applicator and adaptor pipe for cavity spraying was about 55£ on ebay delivered , it’s important to treat the sills which is what the small section of pipe was for , it took about 4 hours to do which included removing wheels for arch treatment , i waxolyd my previous forester sti it definitely helped but dinitrol seems to be a better compound
