Car Rust Proofing
Our car rust proofing service uses Dinitrol cavity wax and primers to create a protective barrier against corrosion. The process involves steam cleaning, rust conversion, and multiple protective layers tailored to your vehicle's specific needs. Clients receive daily progress photos and benefit from our expertise in treating both modern and vintage vehicles, ensuring structural integrity and resale value are maintained.
Vehicle Undersealing
Professional undersealing with Dinitrol wax formulations that cure to a flexible protective layer. We remove old underseal, treat surface rust, and apply coatings to wheel arches and underbody components. This service extends vehicle lifespan by preventing corrosion from road salt and environmental factors while maintaining factory finishes with clear coat options.
Annual Wax Inspections
Free annual inspections check wax coating integrity and treat any wear points. This preventative maintenance ensures continuous protection, with clients only paying for additional wax used during top-ups. The service includes cavity re-injection and underbody checks to maintain optimal corrosion resistance for vehicles treated by us.
Cavity Wax Injection
Targeted cavity wax application using Dinitrol products to protect enclosed vehicle structures. This process involves injecting wax into door cavities, sills, and other vulnerable areas after thorough preparation. The treatment prevents hidden corrosion that could compromise structural safety and vehicle longevity when combined with regular maintenance.
Rust Conversion Treatment
Specialised rust conversion using Dinitrol primers to transform existing corrosion into a stable surface. This preparatory step ensures proper adhesion for protective coatings and halts further degradation. The treatment is essential for vehicles showing early rust signs and forms part of our comprehensive undersealing process to restore and maintain vehicle condition.

Outstanding customer service from Mark and the team who clearly take pride in the quality of work they deliver. Vehicle needed some welding which was all taken care off and Mark provided a detailed description of the whole process undertaken before the Dinitrol treatment is applied. Brilliant touch is the regular photographs with updates on progress so felt completely comfortable having them work on my cherished Defender.
Highly recommend Preserve and Protect to help keep your vehicle in pristine condition, and they offer a regular check up to ensure that maximum protection is maintained which again highlights their desire to ensure everyone leaves a satisfied customer.

After searching online to find somewhere to underseal my MX5 as it was starting to rust a little. I came across preserve and protect, after a couple of friendly emails i popped over for them to have a look. Couldnt of had a more friendly welcome! With a up of coffee in my hand mark popped it up on the ramp and showed me underneath. He explained the process of the ubdersealing. Turns out they are a fan of the MX5's and gave me a ton of advise aswell as sourcing me a window regulator which i was looking for! Mark even managed to give me a run to the station to get home! All in all a great experiance

Look no further peeps, P&P are the business; shear quality from start to finnish. I'm 'old school'; been into motors all my life and love perfection. Mark and Sam have a great understanding of what people like me need, and they most certainly 'tick' all the boxes. Very refreshing to deal with, will most certainly be returning with other vehicles and will highly recommend to all my friends and anyone else sensible enough to listen.
Finally, THANK YOU Mark and Sam for all your hard work. Very much appreciated.

Exactly what I was looking for, meticulous attention to detail, fantastic job done in a few days. Mark even had my tired alloys refurbed saving the hassle and time of me taking the car elsewhere. I'm always dubious and over protective leaving my car with anyone but Mark and Sam put me at ease straight away. I highly recommend Preserve and Protect and have already set a reminder to book in for my anniversary inspection!

Very happy with the service I received from Mark at Preserve & Protect undersealing my Honda s2000. The finish looks great. Also, Mark spent a lot of time talking to me about my car, offering a lot of advice, truly going above and beyond. Would definitely recommend them,

Outstanding service on my Mustang. Mark walked us through the process and explained all the options on which treatment and what the benefits were etc. Price quoted was price paid. DVD of before and after showed the limited coverage that had been applied by the factory, the after pictures couldn't be more different. Family run, integrity, honesty and a down right fantastic job. Highly, highly recommended.
