Waxoyl Underside Rust Prevention

philipm

I own a '98 MX-5 that I would like to get the underside Waxoyl'd professionally. There are one or two rust spots appearing on the car :eek: so just want to try prevent any future problems.

Can you reccommend anyone from experience?

You can do this yourself pretty easily, just a few guidelines to follow.

Thanks for the reply. I live in Dublin City centre so doing it myself is not an option.

I have been doing my research and this looks like a good treatment solution.

Ya, that looks the biz alright...TBH it's the time & prep you put into it that makes the difference. If not cleaned/prepped properly you are wasting time & money, I'v seen people waxoyl on to rust :rolleyes: & ten months later wonder why it's back??

Waxoil is good stuff, but it's awful sh1te to apply. You really need a ramp to do it right.

Thanks from all the reading I have done that is exactly what I have heard, prep is everything, that is the reason why I was looking for a professional with experience to do the job right
