Spraying Waxoyl
Discussion
Get the Waxoyl nice and hot, when I did it I stood the sprayer in a bucket (not your best one as you will get wax on it) of hot water.
Not a good idea to do it on a cold day as the wax will get cold in the pipe to the spray head and it won't spray
I used a Waxoyl pump up sprayer, maybe not available now, it was a very long time ago

Dont use waxoyl, its s
te.
The most cost effective way is to buy 5 Litres as it goes quite a long way but if you dont have a compressor your quite limited.
I would guess you would need around 5 Aerosol cans to do a decent job on a larger vehicle.
Compressor wise you would need something with a decent capacity as its quite air hungry.

Waxoyl is poor, look up Bilt Hamber & Dinitrol, far superior products.
I agree completely. I used Dinitrol Coroheat which is by far the best coating ive used as its clear and high temp resistant. I tried every form of others on my Defender and they either didn't last that long or were awful (i'm looking at you Lanougrard..). Coroheat was still in place and unmarked a year later,.
I drive a 23 year old Ford Ranger and find Waxoyl to be excellent - but only in hollow sections.
When I last treated the chassis it was with 5l of clean engine oil first, followed by 5l of heated Waxoyl.- both applied with a paraffin gun, running of our compressor.
Prior to this I painted the outside of the chassis with Buzzweld's Rust Control Primer followed with their Chassis in One paint.
Holding up well so far.

As a motorcycle rider , I am horrified you put 5 litres of engine oil in the box sections of you car .When I last treated the chassis it was with 5l of clean engine oil first, followed by 5l of heated Waxoyl.- both applied with a paraffin gun, running of our compressor.

What's the best / easiest way to spray waxoyl will I need a gun and compressor? I've also seen the aerosol version but I have the whole underside of my 4x4 to do so Don think that will be very cost effective!
The spray cans are rubbish other than very localised use. There are better products than waxoyl these days but I still use it as it works, is cheap and is easy.
I spray the underside of the old Rangies every other year as well as any car I'm planning to keep.
I dilute it down with white spirit in a 5L garden sprayer. The sprayer is then put in a big bucket of hot water and I done a murder suit and spray away. As it's very thin it seeps and soaks in everywhere.

I can’t believe someone with your means does his own waxoyl spraying!There are better products than waxoyl these days but I still use it as it works, is cheap and is easy.

Even a peasant like me paid someone else so I didn’t have to do it.

The 5l of clean oil resides in the chassis and acts as a vehicle for the Waxoyl to travel along.
This ensures that the Waxoyl creeps into all the corners and doesn't leave any dry spots, which then rot.
Once the Waxoyl has dried the oil is trapped underneath.and doesn't go anywhere.
