Thanks Col, I kinda had the same feeling...i.e 'It's not too bad but needs a look at'. I have 2 options I guess :

A - The bodyshop quoted approx 250 quid to seal it. Whilst they didn't use the name 'Waxoyl' it certainly looked and smelled like the same type of thing to me. The only issue I have with this is that I'm going to have this nagging doubt as to whether they did a proper job of removing all the surface corrosion prior to sealing.

B - Do it myself! If I do it, then I will know that it's been done properly (I hope!) and it would also be a damn sight cheaper. I should either be able to look online for detailed instructions about how to do it or ask you lot for your ever valued advice!
