Well Owen ..
With regard to Pride of Ownership we dont judge the underside (with this in mind), and I would expect most cars to be treated with some sort of inhibitor. Mine certainly is. But Waxoyl??? I used it since it first appeared in Exchange & Mart, up to the early 90s. But after experimentation I found that other products were more convenient to use and longer lasting. So I now go for either Dinitrol. Or a Tectyl product (made by Valvoline). Some of the Tectyl aerosols go on very easily (no silly hand pumps) and dry to a waxy residue which lasts & lasts. http://www.valvolineeurope.com/english/products/tectyl/aftermarket/cid%28604 %29/tectyl_multi_purpose/506?category=tectyl Dave _____ From: Owen Jenkins [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 23 August 2012 11:42 To: mogtalk2 Subject: Re: [mogtalk2] 1991 +8 imminent now Waxoil Bob, Apply when new. The sooner the better. There is then little chance for the corrosion to begin. The only caveat I would add here is that, if you are planning entering concours d'élègance competitions, the judges don't like Waxoyl when they look underneath as it isn't elegant. This is where the "Pride of Ownership" class comes in handy at MSCC events, as they expect that you'll have done something sensible under the car and so don't get excited about it. Dave Wellings can advise further. Dave?
