I can see a group buy coming....

[alexjj]

Yep this stuff looks good, I was looking at getting my nether regions waxoyled but this stuff makes a lot more sense.

Anyone up for sorting a group buy for this? I was looking at getting this done this year, before winter hits again.

[piman2k]

I guess the answer to this is no

Sorry dude, I've only just browsed back into this section again as I'd forgotten about the topic.

The answer is indeed no though Hell, I don't even get to see the results, let alone the internet.

I want a job at your place

Just sprayed some wax on the back of the plates .... lets see if the "kills old rust" claim stands up

[djlee_dj]

so i want to give my s14a a quick once over.

5 litres @ 39.95 is what im after ?

can you paint it on ? or have to be sprayed ?

will this kill surface rust ?

I guess the 5 litres is a compressor & spray gun jobbie. I only intend to use it inside of box sections and have bought aerosols

The dynax seems to have prevented further corrosion on the plates that I tested

[djlee_dj]

how long must you leave it before you drive ? i could do it in work but would have to drive after a little bit.

were do you spray ?? remove exhaust + sill to sill ? bottom off crossmember etc ? struts ? inside wheel archs ? wishbones ? diff ?

please can you knock up a quick 'spray or not too spray' type guide ? what needs masked off ? removed etc ?

want this done after a little patch of weld

I would just spray/brush some wax over the weld For a more comprehensive insight into rust prevention you might want to look at this thread http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=283826

If you want to get cracking sooner rather than later, I posted this basic guide up some time ago http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.p...ghlight=waxoyl

[MarkH]

Top work guys very interesting read

[djlee_dj]

what products + were from..... got the welding done today. within the next few weeks i want to do this

i would appricate everything i would need , like wire brush(s) ? products ... de-greaser/waxoyl or k-rust etc ? and were from ?

im a complete noob to this so dont know were to start.

can get a compressor + waxoyl gun with a 'rod' extension

thanks

thanks.

If you read the thread that Petrol posted to it's all in there

[djlee_dj]

it refers to waxoyl. i read somewhere before there was something better, but also did not see were to get it from well priced.

also read somewhere, degrease it - then k-rust it- then enamel paint it - then waxoyl

os something like that

i want a basic undercoating that will kill + keep away rust the most effective + cheapish and ease of use etc.

We all want that mate Unfortunately it hasn’t been made yet

Different products serve different purposes, wax for example, is best used inside box sections but I wouldn’t recommend using a box section wax under the arches

Anyone tried this stuff?

I asked a mate working for a major paint manufacturers what the best rust-proofing paint they did was - he's going to get me a couple of litres of this stuff (for £20)

If you can paint oil rigs sat in the North Sea with it, it's got to work reasonably well on a car .

edit: Oh and I'm not intending to flood the sills with it - I was thinking of using it on the underside - soz for any confusion, I suppose I posted it on the wrong thread

but will it stand upto a russian winter?

[alexjj]

I can get stuff that IS used in russian winter in the baltic... only prob is might glow in the dark.. a little bit.. offshore stuff is some of the most hardcore for rust proofing.

For a cheap fix, we could all attach bags of zinc to the car (sacrificial anode protection.. does work)

[Petrol]

International paint is good stuff Oh and that's a very good price

The primer I am using is 90 odd% zinc and does the sacrificial anode protection jobbie.

The plates a month on

[John Bennett]

That's pretty shoddy for the waxoyl, if that's what it goes like after a month in the rain

I don't think the sacrificial anode thing works with a block of zinc strapped to the body - you'd need to park the car underwater to make the circuit.
