• Remove all seating, floor coverings, centre console and seat belts until the interior of the vehicle is in shell form.
• The doors cavities and door pillars are then sprayed internally with Beam Upper Body Product (ML602) rust treatment a highly advanced heavy duty wax product designed to adhere to the metal. The rocker panels and pillars are then accessed through existing holes and are carefully sprayed using high-pressure equipment, to ensure thorough coverage.

All drain holes are checked to ensure they are free from any residual rustproofing product. The vehicle is then cleaned off using a mild solvent to ensure that there is no over-spray on the body, trim, windows or any other exterior parts.
