is the complete anti-corrosive and non-stick treatment for Land Rovers applied by Before ‘n’ After.

& are the coatings.

The process was developed by Before ‘n’ After Rustproofing in Newbury.

currently takes about 2/3 days to go. We suggest these 3 choices. 1. Drop your car off with us, go home and then pick it up in 2 or 3 days time (we may be able to lend you a courtesy car). 2. Have a 2 or 3 day break in Newbury. There are loads of great things to do in and around Newbury. (we can usually lend you a courtesy car) or 3. Use our pick up/courtesy car/delivery service. click here for details. You can also rent a car at a budget price from the car hire firm who are my direct neighbours – phone TVR on 01635 552200. Incidentally, you are welcome to drop your vehicle off the day or night before (Before ‘n’ After shuts at 9pm) and you can leave the vehicle with us for a few days if that is more convenient for you – your vehicle is covered by £50.000 of insurance)


What do we do - steps (1.) to (6.)
              (1.) The Land Rover (or other 4 x 4) is put on a lift and all the underbody wax is removed. (Incidentally, Land Rover's own wax coating will give you very little protection in my opinion. It has no rust inhibitors in it as far as I am aware and will only protect the underbody from slight abrasion damage. Because it is sticky, loads of mud will cling to it.)

(2.) The vehicle is carefully masked out. (3.) The underbody is first coated with a super tough anti-corrosive barrier coating. This coating contains “laminar pigments”. These are microscopically thin “platelets”. When the coating cures, the “platelets” are squeezed tightly together forming an impenetrable barrier to oxygen and moisture. It is also extremely tough and durable. Nick & John Jennings’ Land Rover 90 was given the treatment in July 2001. It has been used for off-roading nearly every weekend between then and June 2002 when we examined it. Nick tells me that he has done a lot of trialling in it and very often grounded it on rocks. When I examined it there were very virtually no signs of damage to the coating though. To simulate stones and gravel hitting the coating I fired a bb gun, a catapult, and a high powered air rifle at a test plate coated with KLEENtect. A plastic pellet fired at 135 mph from a bb gun (click here to see calculations) made dents in the steel test plate but the Barriertect coating was completely undamaged. (I will be glad to supply a test plate to anyone wishing to verify this for themselves). Even firing sharp flints with a catapult did not always make chips in the coating. (click here and here to see videos of our test rig in action) A high-velocity air rifle firing lead ammunition did however make chips in the coating.

(4.) is then applied over the Barriertect. StayKLEEN is a high gloss, non-stick clearcoat. It contains PTFE. So just as you can clean a non- stick frying pan very easily after cooking an omelette, any mud or salt can easily be washed off the KLEENtect finish. Once the underbody has been treated with KLEENtect, much less mud will stick to it. Wet mud will not stick at all but just fall off. Any mud that does stick will usually fall off once it is dry. Pressure washing is no longer necessary. Where any mud is still sticking (usually in places that trap the mud) you just need to play a garden hose gently over the mud and it will fall straight off. Note: you can still use a pressure washer if you wish but please use a “fan” nozzle. The KLEENtect finish will resist abrasion and will withstand any number of mud baths and “wash offs”. To restore the high gloss finish at any time just use a sponge and some warm water with washing up liquid.

(5.) All cavities and chassis box sections, doors and “A” posts of bulkhead are then injected with good old Waxoyl.

(6.) Masking is then removed and the Land Rover is carefully valeted.
