OK serious ones now.

There are not many don't dos except, try to keep the waxoyl off any bushes, engine and transmission components. Mask up if neccessary.

Get the stuff all over the chassis, remove any loose material and rust first, remove any oil and dirt first.

Take the inner door panels and the plastic covers and spray in the bottoms of the doors, however make sure to not block the drain holes.

Spray the backs of the bumpers and inside the chassis rails where you can get at an exposed area.

If you have it, spray on the black rubberised coating on top of the waxoyle on really exposed areas like chassis and the floor pan. It will help and also cut down road noise.

cheers

Keep it warm as it flows more freely this time of year, stand in bucket of hot water (no not you the waxoyl) to keep it more liquified.

Wax Oil

I managed mine on 2 car ramps a boiler suit and 3 cans of the heavy duty Black stone chip wax oil from halfords BARGIN!! and the finish that it give is like new!! very good Idea about bucket of hot water and stand the cans or drum of waxoyl in for 5 mins makes for easy application Wear a hat or basball cap as you'll be suprised where it will go!

ENJOY! at least your under cover!

Cover any ground wherever you are.....when I did mine I was glad I decided to cover the driveway....the stuff gets everywhere.

[firefly]

and try your best to keep it off the exhaust it stinks and stinks and stinks for ages

[qube3]

thanks guys, ill let you know how it goes

no one around my area will do it.

you can buy a pressurized can and a sray gun with pump this makes the job a bit more user freindly to say the least. you can get the gun/pump for about a tenner and then the price of the pressurized can maybe around a tenner, think i used 2 cans. you also can buy a flexy pipe to get inside the main box section on the chassis. and the warm water trick works a treat...

oh what ever you do dont get it on the kitchen floor you will have to buy lots of chocolate and flowers to get back in the good books. or just live in the garage for a few months ......................good luck....
