Yep, if it lasts another 3 or 4 years then its a good investment. I have plans for my J but it will be over a long period of time.

Yer the warranty is good. But it just seems expensive.
Say you buy 5 litre of wax oil for under car and 5ltrs for cavitys,
Aver price is about £100. Leaves £350ish for labour,at 10 hours that £35 per hour.
For a job with very little skill level required.
Its All personel choice.

True little skill needed but lots of mess and painstaking hard work though. I did mine and unless you are meticulous and get rid of all the rust first you can actually speed up the rusting process in the areas that you miss or fail to prepare properly. So all in all it might be worth it for some to pay the money and get a guarantee.

I live on a street with terrace houses and no garage. I have a driveway. My house is rented and the landlord would not be happy with Waxoyl all over the block paving and front of his house :o

Something I forgot to mention in my opening post is that the under seal has made a noticeable difference to road noise. I noticed it straight away driving back on the motorway from Rust Master.

However, the J is still a noisy bugger :(
