Paul Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yes, mine has it underneath. Wire brush any loose rust and then brush it on from a pot, not worth spraying, brushing it on its just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Jet wash the underneath after wire brushing & allow to dry THOROUGHLY i.e. over a hot weekend. You don't want to be trapping water in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Jet wash the underneath after wire brushing & allow to dry THOROUGHLY i.e. over a hot weekend. You don't want to be trapping water in there Good advice indeed;) I have just done my cars with the stuff - bloody fiddly when the gasket snaps on the waxoyl pump and it flies everywhere. Good job but you need to do it every year TBH (from what I have heard). It is great for getting in to the tight areas and also in to the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 And if you use the pump up sprayer you'll get better flow & coverage if you heat the tub of waxoyl in a bucket of boiling water 10 mins before & during spraying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukApache Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 i assume it needs to be on a lift to be able to spray it from underneath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 i assume it needs to be on a lift to be able to spray it from underneath? Its easier, but you can get away with ramps if you do half at a time. And you'll need to put something on the driveway to stop it getting covered in waxoyl. Its very messy stuff!

Sharpie Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 At what point do UK cars need re-treating ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 At what point do UK cars need re-treating ? I had mine done about a year ago, if not been done then I think it's a good idea to treat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 hi, jazz1. i use waxoyl on all my motors, supra/shogun/tractors etc + both boys motors - 460bh 300zx,turbo polo and super charged g60 corrado.

SupraAyf Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I think farmers earn too much (Joking!!! Keep producing nice steaks for us!!! Love you!...) You will find a good few of the farmers will get VAT back when they put everything through the company books mate - nice little discount eh!! My fathers farming pals had Saab Cabriolets, Porsches and other nice things on the vat-free books. There's always a way:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steviekid Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I spent most of a weekend under my car with a compressor, paraffin gun and a big tub of waxoyl. I went to the hassle of removing the seats and carpets so I could spray into the box sections from above and below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 hey,steviekid. where in d&g did you find a dry spot to wax oyl a motor or anything else that requires a lack of vetical H2o ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattanna Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I have done mine and supra before some say you should not waxoyl older cars as you can trap rust in(Chris Wilson i think but don't quote me on that), however it cannot do any harm, ideally you need to get to every nook and cranny with engine out suspension off etc etc, but for the sake of about £50 worth doing!

Kranz Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Waxoyl will not 'cure' rust that is nore than a light surface rust. Any pitting or flakes and it'll not stop the spread. BUT its better than letting it continue rusting as it'll slow it down by excluding the oxygen. What you don't want to do is trap salty or muddy water under it as it'll never dry out. Ensure the area being covered (sepecially box sections) is clean & dry. Wash it out first if needed & then dry over a few summers days allowing plenty of ventilation. Also ensure drain holes are clear after treatment so any water getting in there is allowed to drain out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
