Has anyone used this company or others to rust proof their van.We are about to collect a brand new Autotrail and cannot make up my mind if I should do this . Is it a good or bad move ?

dont know about the X250's onwards but older ones were painted, usually white for motorhome use, up to the cab to Alko chassis flange joint as shown in attached pic (if Alko chassis fitted) otherwise just painted in the whole.How long do you intend to keep it for?
Fiat Ducatos are galvanised and if you dont scrape it will last well over 10 years without rust,
Putting gunk inside chassis and beams bungs up the drain holes and can make things worse, I would never have it sprayed into mine.
My apologies to you and rust busters :Blush:no first hand experience so can only repeat what I have read in bad reports/reviews.
not a thorough job and vital bits missed like inside box sections etc.

Thanks for that.Hi Papa
Since the mid nineties ducatos have been electroplated with zinc which gives a thiner more even surface for applying the paint, the alko chasis are hot dipped so the coat is thick and uneven and does not require paint,
Take a look at any fiat van compared to the same age sprinter, Transit and so on, you will see a massive difference in the quantity of rust, (unless its been crashed of course and damaged the zinc plating)

According to the Motor vehicle dismantles association, the average life span is 13.5 years. [HI]But there are not many 2000 reg cars about[/HI].
I would have thought it was around 10 years.
