Hello all, I have been planning to have my recently acquired (February 2019) 2003 R230 Waxoyled to prevent corrosion, none being evident at the moment. However, although my manual indicates that the underbody of the vehicle needs to be inspected for damaged areas, which 'need to be re-undercoated', it then says: 'Your vehicle has been treated at the factory with a wax-base rustproofing in the body cavities which will last for the lifetime of the vehicle. Post-production treatment is neither necessary nor recommended by Mercedes-Benz because of the possibility of incompatibility between materials used in the production process and others applied later.' So: Does anyone have further knowledge of this, or experience with Waxoyl or similar processes, or recommendations about specific providers? With thanks, TS
