waxoil is a corrosion prohibiter. it can be sprayed on or in some cases brused on. it comes in 2 colours black whih drys black or yellow which drys clear.
Here goes:-
making sure that the car is dry and any lose dirt is brushed away(wheel arches etc) whilst cleaning the car make sure that your WAXOIL is heating up,either in a bucket of hot water or have a small fan heater near it. this stuff needs to be applied hot and runny.
costs of waxoil can range from £18 upwards. i used my compressor and shultz gun today,guys who dont have one you can buy the WAXOIL handpump kit which costs £15.
i recomend that you cover the brakes and coilovers.(it wont harm the susspension)
heres a few step by step pitures of how its done.
This has to be one of the best ways to save money in the long run as it stops corrosion but be warned its a dirty job.

as you can see ive removed parts of the trim so i can gain access to the inner sils and also the rear panels.
I advise that when you are doing the wheel arches you cover the brake discs,as the WAXOIL will comtaminat the brakes.
I hope this is usefull for you all.
