What have you done to your MX-5 today? (Part 2)

Ice Blast Pro, Witney. OX28 6HT.

We booked a provisional inspection to start with so that we could see ourselves what was going on underneath our 2016 model MX-5 Icon. From the very first contact we were well looked after and all our questions answered. We were given solid advice as to what was still good and what areas required further investigation to achieve our aim of trying to preserve our beloved MX-5 for the future.

A mutually agreed date was arrived at and the car duly delivered to Witney for the suggested work to be carried out. A pre-treatment video and detailed photographs followed the next day explaining the good areas and showing the ones requiring remedial work to stop the spread of further corrosion.

The MX-5 was collected at the end of the week from Witney. It had been cleaned and inspection was invited to check the underneath before departure. There was no hurry involved and a quick, detailed resumé of what had been done during the week reassured me there was no need to check the work.

Three more videos with a commentary arrived along with more photographs of the underside showing the extent of all the work carried out. At no point was I made to feel as if I was in the way or they were trying to hurry me up to get on with the next job. From start to finish was a thoroughly pleasant experience and we now have an MX-5 which we believe will serve us for many more years to come.

Top marks to Ice Blast Pro and a deserved 5 star rating in our opinion.

The recommended treatment for the underside after the small amounts of identified corrosion had been neutralised was Bilt Hamber UC and Bilt Hamber Dynax 5-50.
