Thats good to know Ben that a car that is used as a normal car in normal conditions is holding its own. The waxoil and paint is a big help then if maintenance is kept up.

I believe so. It's very important to use a creeping wax in these areas so that it can flow down between the vents in the sill protecting there as with the best will in the world, it's difficult to paint that area well and keep the paint there when welding.

 

What is the best wax to use Ben or should i put as which one do you use in the day to day operations of the garage? I will understand if you prefer not to advocate one brand over the other however. just interested to know what you use?

 

John.

 

The one I use is by wurth and in my experience with it covers Well, flows very well and as I mentioned above with the restoration job that I checked up on 4 years later, lasts very well and has helped prevent against corrosion.

 

I can also get the same wax in aerosol cans too which have a remote lance on them and a normal mist top. This is especially ideal for doing all the small areas where you need more control.

 

Only thing with the wurth stuff is it's generally not available to non trade but to be honest, most of the wax oil products are much of a muchness and all work as well as one another.

I do have a trade account with Wurth here in Ireland so i will have a look on their website and see what's there. Thanks for the  information Ben.
