Waxoyl?

[rbattelle]

Has anyone ever used this or otherwise have any experience with it? I'm wondering if it's worth the $64. 40 for the 2. 5L starter kit.

The real trick is getting the proper sprayer attachments for those hard to reach places.

I saw Eastwood's heavy duty rust preventative spray, but wondered if it was as effective as Waxoyl, which has been around for so long.

Eastwood's

Got a can of the Eastwood's heavy duty rust preventative stuff from a buddy today... it looks just like the "aftermarket" stuff that was shot in my Wife's Durango.



Sort of brownish waxy stuff. This particular product is in an aerosol can... I'm going to use a tube nozzle to get it into the lower joining area of my doors.



It's "self healing"... it will supposedly run back into itself if scratched and doesn't go into a runny mess until 175 degrees.

Loren,



Let me know how much one can covers. Does it seem like quality stuff?

rbattelle,

It looks like you posted 2. 5L, L=litres? That should be more than enough to do your vehicle's inner panels, top and bottom. I used to train people here in Anchorage to apply the stuff. I grew up in northern Ohio in the 60's and 70's and rust back there is real bad. That's where I learned. YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER RUST INHIBITOR THAN WAXOYL-PERIOD! It's a one time application unless you have any body work done to repair an accident. Being a true rust inhibtor it will actually inhibit surface rust, and slow it down or stop it depending on what stage the rust is in. It is even effective in preserving used vehicles. One thing I would strongly recommend is appling a good self healing underbody protector as well. Waxoyl also makes a product called "UnderGard". It also is a rust inhibtor and will not peel off in sheets the way the "tar type sealers" will. If chipped by a stone it actually has the ability to "self heal". The under gard should be touched up every year or two in the wheel well areas depending on how you use your vehicle. It's not bulletproof. If you purchase the under gard it can be applied with a standard rockershultz spray attachment. You should be able to completely under coat a truck with 4-5 quarts, or litres. Make sure you also steamclean the underside good to get any mud or road debri off prior to application. If you need any help on the application let me know. Rustproofing is only as good as the person that sprays it.

Thanks for the advice, Crazy Horse!



The kit sold by Moss is 2. 5 Liters, and it apparently comes with a pump and sprayer (which I would need, since I have neither of these items). If it's as good as you say, then it's worth the price.

Waxoyl

rbattelle,

Glad you posted that link, I've been looking for Waxoyl for my truck, which is very similar to your new baby! In fact I ordered mine on the same day, got it four weeks later, my '95 took four MONTHS.....



I think it's well worth the money and hassle of applying it , I wonder if it comes with instructions for idiots like me.

Application should be fairly straightforward, but I too am an idiot so I hope there is at least some guidance provided!

Here is a link to some good information for you do it yourselfers. Waxoyl Info. The main thing is, you should apply waxoyl to every seam/body panel from the glass line down including the under body . You will need to find a way into every crevice,panel and seam. Door, rocker, door post and dogleg panels. Fenders and quarter panels, tailgate, hood, core support (front side and backside). It's very important that you do the inside and outside of all the bed braces under the truck as well as the taillight area. Do this prior to applying the Undergard under body protector. Also not at the link above they said the "supplied" spray equipment didn't work well. You can buy or possibly rent a commercial spray gun that will spray the product well. As far as the Waxoyl goes, it only has to be applied half the thickness of a hair to adequately coat and protect the metal. You want a spray gun that will "fog" the body panels. It doesn't have to be loaded up on body panels so it's dripping out on the ground. To adequately coat/protect the metal the following is a demonstration: With the proper spray gun you can stand away from a wall 10 feet, spray the "fog", and when the fog hits the wall at approx 80psi that is all the coverage you need. When you get into the body panels watch the "fog" come out from every where. Be sure the windows are up also or you will have a big mess on you hands, cleaning the glass and window tracks.

Has anybody out there ever used "3M Rust Fighter", (below)? If so, how did you like it? Was it thin enough to seep into a door panel crimp?
