Guys, can anyone recommend someone who can do a professional quality cavity wax treatment for an early 911. i.e. has all the proper spray lances to get in and who knows all hidden the 911 cavity spaces. Around London preferably, but I will travel to get a top job done - a crap job I can do myself!

Terry's beetle services in hanwell has done 2 of my cars now.

Air hose first to remove all loose particles then dinitrol - circa £250 back in 2009 but still looks good underneath now

Blimey is Terry's Beetles still around! I did some work for the owner (whose name funnily enough wasn't Terry) about 25+ years ago when he drag raced a v quick VW type 1 at Santa Pod. Thanks for the benefit of your experience, I think Dinitrol is a good product by the sound of it.

You might be interested in this document (if you have a lot of time on your hands...)

(Comparison of rustproofing products, including various salt spray tests etc).

Probably best to be sceptical because, although done by an independent body, it was commissioned by Bilt Hamber (and their product wins).
That said, I've used the Bilt Hamber products and find them excellent. I have no connection other than as a customer.

Cheers, Richard.

Luke Theochari and Pete Englezos are still active in the VW scene :)

Luke @ Terry's did my 67S & that was my daily driver for 3 years - that protection lasted well.
