Used it loads of times. I found it worked really well in the cavities, doors, sills etc.

ive used it on mine very messy stuff and time consuming because i took all the skirts off and did under there and all wheel arches etc. i did mine 18 months ago, i spent a full summers day on it that way i was guranteed not to get **** wet through and i could take my time.
it does smell a bit after for a day or two but 18 months on its still fine and doesnt need doing again yet, to my surprise.

I have used it on a few classic cars. I used a compressor and old spray gun and stuck the waxoyl in its container in a container of boiling water. That way it goes like water and is easy to spray in all the small cavities. Very messy though.

Used it in my off roader days (a long time ago). Did the chassis, sills, wheelarches etc on a Suzuki SJ410 soft top, when it was about 4 months old. I used it for 4 yrs, then it got passed around various owners, until a commercial fisherman bought it, and used it for lugging crab pots, bait etc around after he converted it to a pickup with a bit ply behind the seats, after several years of that, the whole body had rotted, except where the waxoyl was. The thing is still on the road, with a fibreglassed over body, and it's about 20 years old. (No MOT here)

Do my car every year and for £16 a gallon it does a great job.Use the black stuff you dont need to heat it up sprays on straight from the can - you need to heat up the clear/brown stuff.Is a really horrible messy job to do though.
