Which cavity waxes are you using?

[chevy2]

Waxoil has probably gone the same way as nitromors,
Was good, now junk,

saying that i have a 20 year old large can of Waxoil in my garage that i have used on a couple of cars 15 and 20 years back that have held up well.

Ive used Waxoyl on its own and mixed with Dinitrol.

The mix is better, giving a flatter solid coverage, instead of the fluffy finish Waxoyl tends to give, and it stays wet

Noxudol 700

I've just used Noxudol 700 on my integrale - it's a bit early to see if it works though. It was a bit difficult to get hold off direct - took a few goes at phoning but very nice to deal with when I did.

12 yrs ago I used dinitrol through one of those pressure pots when I bought the car. On it's 25th birthday rebuild, I found intact paint on the outside of some panels, intact dinitrol on the inside . . . and not much inbetween. I think I can live with that - it was never garaged, used everyday, wind, rain, snow, salt, washed when it rained, and maybe not even then.

Am i reading that wrong? did the metal still rust away?

My late father used waxoyl on this beetle for over 10 years .. He would clean it off every year and apply fresh waxoyl by brush, car still has no rust ..

I think I have a gallon tin of Waxoyl somewhere which is min half full, it must be 45 years old.......

It must be Finnegans then........remember?

and the modern version is under the branding of hammerite, and we know how that paint has changed over the years

Pretty much. I know, I know, it's a Lancia, but it is 25 yrs old, used everyday, and I don't see many Escorts, 3-series etc still around, so I'm not too surprised. It could of course have been rusting nicely inside when I carefully shielded the rust when I sprayed Dinotrol over it - if it's there, it will carry on.

Yes, that's the one I think.

Yep, that's the one.

I've bought the Bilt Hamber S50 as it gets good reviews and seems like it will be easy to apply with the spray tube you get. Haven't used it yet. It's a shame places like Halfords don't stock BH as the postage makes it expensive if you only want one item.

Bilt Hamber have their own forum over at Detailing World which has good info on how to apply products.

I bought a Dinitrol wax and underseal kit mate. Cost about £130 I think. Not used any yet though !!
