Waxoyl

[GazTwo]

Want to get the car done before winter, seen the Hammerite stuff which comes in black or clear and also comes in a aerosol.

Which is the best to go for?? I presume the aerosol will be used for around the door hinges etc...and paint the arches and underneath.

Where can I buy it from??

Why Gaz..................I thought it was only Jap cars that dont have any underseal that had to be waxoiled....................most modern cars will last the distance these days with just a bit of TLC eh.

A few Williams owners have done it to prevent any rust coming threw or stop anymore spreading so I would like to hit the nail on the head before or if any rust manages to get therw....just a precaution really wont do any harm doing it and will give it extra protection of the Winter months.

is it easy to apply?

Just get the clear spray. Its super easy to use! Just clean the areas you gunna put it on as well as you can. Give it a bit of a wire brush then spray it on.

Gaz I did my arches with that clear stuff and it was in a spray can, supposidly you can get the oil mix it with something and then apply it, not that expensive for the can and should be able to get it from many motor places!

But I am getting my arches and underneath cleaned up by this guy and then he is going to wax oil the whole underneath as long as the car can now fit on the ramps...it didnt last time so he couldnt do it!!!lol Its only costing £30 as well!

[SOHROB]

so is it ok to do rear arches or will it cause any discolouring

 

[GazTwo]

Stu was thinkin of doing it myself then I know its done properly but Dannys £30 sounds good...

Have already cleaned the arches and underneath over the last month so all it needs is a good jet washing for any bits I may have missed then get Waxolyin.

Whats this about discolouring????

 

[stusV6]

I cant comment on discolouring Gaz as my car was black so I wouldnt have noticed it anyway.......................but Ill tell you this £30 is an absolute bargain and WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL worth it

Cheers Stu

 

[GazTwo]

Ill have a think, will probably do it myself....give me something to do on the weekends while Im skint on the run up to the dreaded XMAS.

 

[cat171]

i had my valver arches done the other week.

 

[SOHROB]

WAXOYLD ?

 

[cat171]

yeah both the arches.

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Wheres that danny?

Done a fair bit of waxoyl-ing meself.

Peeled back trim and given it some down in to the sills and arches on the inside, plus a few rust spots on the bodywork.

Hows best to do the arches. Have people done them inside the car or actually in the arch itself?

Gaz, sounds like a job for Northy!

 

[GazTwo]

Hed be proud of my cleaning, the back arces are immaculate...think hes busy at the mo in search of headlamp protectors.

 

[Martin]

Had my car done when I got it....Steam cleaned, all the floorpan and arches wayoyled and injected into the doors, boot etc...cost 170 quid though!

Ive done a few cars over the past few years. If you want to do the job properly forget the toy spray cans and "pump-me-up" canisters. They only half work when the ambient temps are quite high (been there with canister in hot water). The only way forward is a decent 90 psi + compressor, wax gun and inspection pit / lift. Your hair also takes on a pretty good gelled look afterwards too! Car stinks for about three months afterwords too. If youre planning to keep the car longterm its well worth the effort though.
