Who of you got their darling waxoyled?

I've just noticed to my great delight that the cavity protection that I injected into all the nooks and crannies of my van three years ago is still fluid after three years. Wit the sun pelting down, heating up the van, the wax is slowly seeping out through the (notorically rust prone) panel gaps, sealing everything nicely in the process.

Sure, it's a bit messy ...but anything is better than rust.

didn't use waxoyl though ...used something called Eurol TW fluid, pretty similar stuff though.

I'm going to Waxoyl the K10 and the Mk3 sometime in the future.

I'm reluctant to apply it to the landrover to be honest. I've seen so many of them (and owned a few) where the waxoil has just been used to cover up rot on chassis sections, and where it has actually ended up trapping water inside having creeped and blocked drainage holes and channels, that I'd almost prefer to see a bit of rust and tend to it instead.

I think an annual cleaning with a steam lance followed by a new coat of stonechip or underseal does a much better job. For box/sill sections, I guess that's not really an option, and waxoil or similar is really the only option....

Would think of it as a definite worth while job however, prep is essential as treating/painting over problems is merely a waste of time & money. Did mine before Christmas & think I spent about three days scraping & sanding underneath/arches etc. so not to be covering up existing problems/rot trapping water & so on... If all is well prepped, a pleasure to apply & satisfying that you know all is protected for another few years anyhow:)

Not done it yet but thinking strongly about it! Not sure what I will use though!

Did anybody ever use Castrol Rustilo? Have used it and found it excellent, only snag was that it only came in a 5gallon can which was pretty scaldy to buy at the time!
