$300+ should include sound proofing.

$200+ is for rust proofing only, so that extra $100+ should be for sound proofing (package).

Knock on your doors. The sound should not be hollow. There should be  a solid "THUD" sound.

I paid only just over $200+ for my Tuff Kote undercarriage and wheel arch rust proofing.

It's basically coating a layer of tar ove rthese areas.

Sub standard work.

I discovered a lot of bare areas not covered by the tar.


Keromond,

How is the quality of your 3M rust proofing?

Was quoted by TCM for 385 also, does this inclusive of GST or net?

$385 is for undercarriage and wheel arch rustproofing only?

Or does it include sound proofing too?

Better clarify.

Have to check with my SE, she only mentioned about undercarriage and wheel arch rustproofing, NOT sound proofing. Thought sound proofing is part of rustproofing process?

Latio uses gavanised steel.

The oldest Latio on the road is only 3 yrs old.

I don't think it will rust at such an early stage.
