I got my Monaro Waxoyled and fully undersealed at Waxworks in Morpeth. The guy's name is Simon, he did a great and very thorough job stripping the car down and injecting the wax everywhere. It still stinks over two months later!

Just had my LWB defender done. very comprehensive, thorough and proper job. £370.
I left it with him at 8AM and he was still working on it at 5.30pm.
at least 30 litres of waxoyl went on / under / inside it
Only 1 car per day is worked on.
Top job without any of the bulls
t advertising of Rustmaster / before and after etc.

Anyone else had their car done ready for this winter? Waxworkz website looks impressive but place in Hartlepool sounds very good value - my car is only going to venture out on the nicest of days but I wouldn't begrudge £100 or so if it is going to protect the underside. Any idea how long the place in Hartlepool take - full day?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Why not do it yourself ??
Purchase the waxoil, and then pay a visit to 'Spanner it'. They have all the equipment and space to do it.
Worth a phone call .............??
Out of interest, what's the comparison between paying someone, to getting the stuff and the cost of a bay for the length of time it will take? Cheaper than 100 quid?Purchase the waxoil, and then pay a visit to 'Spanner it'. They have all the equipment and space to do it.

Simon at the waxworks in Morpeth is the best around by far.
he proved last week that their is such a thing as a free Lunch. I had my 2007 110 XS done in November last year. I rang him and booked it in for its free top up this year. I actually dropped it off with him and when I got it back everything had been washed down, dried, prepped than all the areas re-checked and re-coated as required.
Their simply isn't anywhere that does such a good job without any of the "Before-N-After" bullst. Quite frankly last year I witnessed 6 number 5 Litre tins of black and Clear go on the car and this year a good Tin of Black must have been used. now after forking out £370 quid and seeing how much product is used...if anyone really is stupid enough to want to piss about getting filthy on their back to save £200 then good luck.
But do yourself a favour. go and see how a proper professional does his work. Awesome.

Waxoyl x 5 litre tin = £33 from Halfords ( so their website tells me).The spanner-it bays, or the four poster lift - see their website for prices per hour. ( 15-20 quid)
I'm sure you could do it for £100.
They can order your equipment for you, (some discount !!), so you will just need to turn up and do the work.
Like I say.....................the price of a phone call may be worth your while.

If you hire a bay there's not a hope in hell of doing it less than £100. In fact I would hazard a guess that you couldn't even buy enough waxoyl and preferred applicator for less than £100, then there's the cleaning down and up 
and your time. Added to the fact it's a dirty crap job the figures just don't stack up for a diy job imho.Paddy_N_Murphy said:

You are also missing out possibly the most important step. and your time. Added to the fact it's a dirty crap job the figures just don't stack up for a diy job imho.The THOROUGH pressure / steam cleaning of the crap off the underside of the car, in all the nooks / crannies.
The wire brushing and such of crud and drying BEFORE even thinking of spraying around the Waxoyl.
All in all it should take 2 days to do a proper job.
Its a s
t job, and I am sure Spanner it would not thank you (nor the other car owners who will also receive the Waxoyl Overspray) for taking it to thir facility.Gassing Station | North East | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
