What do you mean by up north? I'm planning on going to see these guys in the next few months as I want it doing before next winter. No personal experience but you can be the Guinea pig if you want
The dinitrol site has a list of providers.

Autospray Darlington DINITROL Rustproofing Treatment Provider

I also went on their website however they don’t recommend anyone, only supply the stuff. They do have a list of questions to ask though. Autoshield will be my first port of call I think as it’s not too far away.

There only some minor tin plates which are easy and cheap to replace...but yes, they could do better.

Cheap, yes. Bad news though. None in stock now.
Had mine from the states.

Full steam clean off, remove all loose paint and rust, treat all surface rust, zinc prime then paint with chassis black then inject all cavities including inside doors and under the arch liners and it ends up looking like this, however it does take a hours hard graft, and you need a ramp, whoever has my QP5 now has a solid car.

Thanks Andy, my next winter project will be to do this on the Strad.

She only ever sees fair weather and remains in a heated garage but I feel it would be prudent to do this.

I have been using terotex 350 (which I quite like) which looks to be similar to Ditrinol, does anyone know how long Ditrinol lasts if you use it on exposed metalwork? I know Terotex is great on cavities and steel that is covered from spray but it does wash off eventually from exposed areas.

I've been using this after extensive research, done my sub frames and any other bits of corrosion I come across https://www.rust.co.uk/product/rustbuster-chassis-restoration-value-pack-black-ral-9005-159

I've been using their rust converter and epoxy top coat on my Pinin.
I'll tell you in a few years if it is any good!

Here's mine I had done last year. Front chassis suspension mounts are a crucial area to check.
