Having a look at the Puma workshop manual from this thread:
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/90-110-130-defender-county/108017-puma-worshop-manual.html
Page 1166 states:
CORROSION PROTECTION
The following information details the materials that are applied during manufacture for corrosion protection.
Factory Treatments
The Defender is treated with the following anti-corrosion materials in production:
A PVC based underbody sealer material which is sprayed onto the underfloor, wheel arches and undersill areas.
An application of cavity wax which is sprayed into enclosed cavities and box sections.
A final coating of underbody wax to cover the complete underfloor including components but excluding brake discs, exhaust system and propeller shafts.
A coat of protective lacquer applied to the whole body.
A coat of protective wax applied to the engine bay and wheel arch areas.
In addition to the above measures, all steel parts are zinc-coated both sides
I was under the impression that nothing is applied to the puma and didn't think the body was galvanised?
Maybe this manual if referencing Land Rovers past activities.
Any info / conformation would be great.
