waxoil?

[nam]

i didnt know were to put this so move if need be.

i'm going to waxoil my car before the winter sets in properly and was wondering what brand and how much i will need to do so?


thanks in advance, Nam

Waxoil is the brand. Its super stuff, but the car has to be clean underneath and be 100% dry before applying.

Other than waxoil there's brush on stuff, tetroseal (SP) is quite good too.

i got some waxoyl in a spray can for when i ground back the arches, works a treat. was about 6quid and it saves messin around having to prepare it first

[epo]

i got mine from halfords

i put it in a squirty bottle then put the bottle in a bucket of warm water for 5 mins the squirted it on

then spent 1/2 a day removing the over spray :oops:

yeh nam waxoil is good stuff. i used sholts (i call it underseal) and paint mix as i wanted it to be black not the slightly brown colour underseal is.
you have to get ridd of all dirt and rust before you apply it. i also used a spray can just to do the harder to reach places.

get some waxoil and mix it with some red paint that would be smart!! 8)

cheers for all the comment's lads, so is waxoil a spray stuff or can i use a brush to put it on? also how much will i need?

good idea that is bruce might do it.

thanks again, Nam

p.s, how hard is it to do??

[-Bruce-]

i think you should make the red mix lol. get the stuff that you brush on, and were latex gloves and a hat lol as i got it on mah hair/head last time. and try get the car up in the air as much as pos.

i did mine over a pit

Make sure as everyone has said theres no water or salt anywhere near it before applying.

Brush it on much easier and safer.

Here is one way to get under the car:

a pit or lifters would be great also, but i had mine up on stands lol and still did it, it took ages to get every bit though.

I have some comma rust stop type spray, and think its way better than waxoil. Thing with waxoil is that its quite thick - doesn't flow where you want it. But this spray i got (was from motorsavers up my local town, only place that sells it here) is a flower. It really gets into all the cracks better than waxil does (In my experience).

I used a tin of spray (?5 for 500ml?) for the box sections of my nova (repair work), and I have also used Kurust, but that is an absolute bugger to use, and it gets everywhere! (especially when underneath lol).


I will find the name of the spray for you later, as I cant remember exactly what it was called. But, one of those tin's will last quite a way (did with me anyway).

[nam]

ok then thanks for that mell, i will take a walk in to town one day and have a look what they have in there.

[Mel]

I have no idea why I wrote flower in that post :oops: :lol:

It's called "Comma wax seal". was ?5.69 for 500ml. As I said, would definately recommend it over waxoil anyday.

i was thinking, must be some southeren word or something. how many can will i need you think??

[Mel]

LOL...well its a "Corby" word (sorta) but it shouldnt have been used like that :lol:

Anyhoo. depends what you're doing? How much you want to spray. etc.

I used one tin to do two sides of spraying, and it was a LOT of spray that came out of the tin!

I guess you'd need two maximum tins, depending on how much you want to do, and of course, how "spray happy" you wanna be with it :wink: :lol:
