Rust protection recommendations

Hi All..
Looking into whether to get my 2006 D3 rust treated. I plan on keeping the car for a few years.

Have read a few posts & seen Dinitrol recommended.

Anyone recommend any companies that do the treatment?
I'm in Essex near Hertfordshire border.

I'm not interested in DIY options!! Very Happy

Cheers,

I had my D3 treated locally by a firm who specialise in Dinitrol treatments, good enough job however less than a year later something blew in the engine rendering the motor scrap.
I now have a new to me D3 of the same vintage but only covered 55,000 miles, would I consider the same treatment - No, but only for the reason above Big Cry

No! His new to him D3 has only 55k miles, dose not say what the mileage was of the blown D3, although they have been known to blow with less than 55k Big Cry It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
