GDay all
My girlfriend works in an insurance company, dont turn off just yet! but she asked me if i have heard of MING Protection (nothing to do with the phantom i take it) after I had made up a few believable answers so as to not spoil her illusion that i know everything about cars. I thought I had better find out what the correct answer should have been? Any ideas or anyone know?
Thanks in advance

If its anything like what some caryards try to sell people for paint protection don`t bother wasting your money . Use wax instead its better and cheaper.

From what I remember of the 70's the MING finish was a so called paint protection system not a cheap otion either but as John says the finish was not lasting

The rust proofing was applied by drilling holes in the s
