Underside protection - Waxoyl?

[Guest DMo]

Hi all,

 

Having just bought a Supra recently with a very clean underside, I thought it would be prudent to get it protected. Is there any reason why the usual Waxoyl treatment shouldn't be done? Anything that should be avoided? I gather that the exhaust should be avoided because Waxoyl stinks when it gets hot. It's a stainless steel affair anyway so won't need it.

 

Undersealer is clearly out of the question.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan.

I usually Waxoyl the underside of mine once a year.

 

I agree not to get it on the exhaust. You also want to avoid the brake disks for obvious reasons.

 

Other than that, spray away

Go ahead and give it a gallon or so! Try and blast it on/through and in everything underneath but watch out in the summer when it starts to drip out

 

Steam cleaning the underside before applying will help it cling better too.

Thanks. I don't really have the facilities to do it myself, so will be looking for a local garage to do it. I know the chap that works on my camper does Waxoyl jobs so may ask him. I know he's thorough on the old Vdubs so know he'll do a good job on the Supra.

He'll have to be on those old rust buckets

Yip, wax oil isn't good enough just rusts underneath it on a Vdub.

Stone chip is much harder wearing and is like rubber.
