Can anyone squirt waxoyl ??

[likeitorlumpit]

It works well but as with any surface treatment preparation is everything.

 

If iit wasn't clean and dry before the wax went on all you are doing is making a perfect environment for corrosion.

 

Then again some steel is just born to rust.......

 

Just remembered- the original steel to the tipper body started to rust within a few weeks and we sent it back- The schultz was their cowboy 'fix'. We gave up after that. The tipper body was the worst rusting cabstar body we have ever had including through the paintwork and glad to replace it with the new ones -aluminium.

waxoyl is ok in the box sections but outside in high wash areas a year and its all gone. If you use a hot wash underneath gone in weeks. I tend not to waste my time and money and work the extra day and put it towards a newer truck im not one for driving round in 17 year old trucks.

I treated the best i could my older 90, getting in nooks and crannies were difficult but seeing how good the chassis was where i had done it the year before was worth it but i still did a naff job to be fair. I painted with hammerite then top coat with spray waxoyl. This year my 03 90 is starting to look tired but i will get it properly done by before'n'after, i feel the cost will be worth it and with a 5yr guarantee cant go wrong. has anyone any experience with them?

I believe before and after charge around £500 ? I may be wrong ... I had some quotes around £300 (some with comments of we don't really like doin it ... its a horrible job !!) I am not really havin a go at the cost ... as with anything a job really well done is worth a good price - I just couldnt really afford it.. its a defender and i could throw £300 for a number of reasons! My main point is i dont think this product works... i ended up cutting the top off the can and reaching for a brush ... and swapping the other can for some aerosol to get where my brush couldnt. i followed the instructions to the letter ... made sure it was hot and thinned it with white spirit. (I shook that bloody can til my moobs could take it no longer !!) While I'm happy I covered everything I didn't get inside the chassis which was the main reason i tried this. I've ended up with what I paid for .. an amateur job. Thanks for all the advice... it would seem compressor is the way to go for anyone with this dilemma .... and Ive learnt a lesson.... ask before you try not afterwards .

I allways thin wax oil with diecel as it reaches area's by creeping. Read it in a landy mag years ago.

Get a garden sprayer thingy then when u change your oil every 3k pour it in the sprayer and fire it all over and into your chassis. Sure it's carcinogenic but what the hey.. so's woodchip...

Aye burst oil thinned with diesel worked for us for years... never a seized bolt but was messy!!

Just don't do it on a nice block paved driveway.

If you opt for the compressor set up make sure you control the over spray You wont be popular with the neighbours or wife if wax oil ends up on adjacent cars or windows etc
