Waxoyling, is a very simple job.
If you have a compressor a schultz gun and buy the Waxoyl. Face mask, white tyvek suit and gloves,
Pressure wash / steam clean before, including flushing the inside of the chassis as best you can. Let it dry out completely.
Clean all the surface rust off using a wire brush.
Spray a mixture of waxoyl with white spririt into the chassis, paint the outside with neat waxoyl.
It is a dirty smelly job.
For £100 , I would snap their habds off.
Cheers

Just make sure it includes pre wash incl inside chassis , and they are going to waxoyl the inside and outside.
Including the waxoyl, I do not see how they can do it for that cost.

I used Dinitrol 4941 and Dinitrol ML on the outer and inner chassis and bulkhead, and bottom of doors, and cross member etc etc
Comes up nice. Hard matt black, non sticky smooth finish. I just got tonnes of rattle cans and did it myself (at least I know nothings been missed)
Didn't take too long.

About 450 or so which will be a thorough job of spraying inside the chassis in all the nooks as well as outside. Tamar Land Rover do mine can't fault them.

5 of the 4941 and 3 of the brown runnier ML for inside the chassis. But I doubt it'll need redoing for a few years, seems to be holding up well.
Buy all the kit and it will be the same/cheaper price as paying a garage but then you own all the kit, next year it will cost you 5 litres of chassis wax (20 quid) and the same every year after that.
No matter what people say it needs touching up every year.
Ive just done my 90 and the series, havent done either for 2 years and used 5 litres on each car, also mixed a little engine oil in so it creeps better.

Same machine in machine mart in red twice the price

Same thing in machine mart 40 quid

If using Waxoyl mix it with 10% gear oil around SAE40.
This stops the Waxoyl going hard and flaking off. Although l'd use it neat in high impact areas such as the wheel arches.
l Waxoyled my friend's static caravan chassis eight years ago and the coating is still sticky, it's come off a bit where the chassis is exposed to the weather but the coating is mainly fully intact.

I've got loads of sump oil and very tempted to spray it on, but concerned it'll rot rubber parts. Also, the fog can't be good to breathe.
In the past I've forked out for Waxoyl and done it myself. Maybe Dinitrol next time as it has better rust inhibitors. Worth the investment now the Defender is 'obsolete'!

Hardest part is cleaning the chassis yourself.
It's a horrible crappy job!
Having the chassis washed at a commercial cleaners 1st helps.
