Waxoyl in WA or Australia?

[davros]

Anyone know who supplies Waxoyl or similar (it's liquid wax to go in chassis rails for rust protection, any you can get a long straw to feed it in). Anyone got any suggestions to slowing chassis rust? (And I don't believe in Santa Clause, Fairies or Electrolysis Systems!!)

Good question.

The closest suggestion I've seen is "ferrets, dipped in lanolin".:D

I still wouldn't mind giving my chassis a squirt with something.

I got Waxoil from RS Components about 5 years ago!!!!!!

Have a look on their web site. You never know.

Look at that RS to the rescue again (but you will likely need to sell your mother to afford it):

I bought a four litre can of Waxoyl in the UK in 1983 and brought it back with me - used the last of it in my 101 rear X member only a couple of months ago.

I have never seen it advertised any where in Australia. When in the UK - I waxoyled my jag - found it hard to use in the cold - when my car was shipped to Australia it started oozing out every where in the first summer and only then started to creep into tight spots etc. It really needs to be applied in warm weather - heating it up at application helps with applying it but it will not creep until the whole environment is about 30 or above. Also diluting with white spirit really helps with application.

Is a great product so if you find it let us know where to get it and the cost.

Fishoil or lanotec are just as good if not better.

Agree... Lanotec (the heavy duty formulation) is excellent. It can be very effectively applied using a long length of dripper irrigation hose (6mm) with a 360 degree spray end attached (a couple of $ for pack of 3). You poke the hose as far down the chassi rails as possible and use an electric drill driven pump to push the Lanotec through the hose. The spray does the rest as you slowly pull the line backwards ! A generous coating of Lanotec under the vehicle is excellent prior preparation when heading into muddy conditions. Makes it very easy to hose off dry mud! The stuff has a very low surface tension and seeps into all sorts of cracks and crevices.
Left overs can be used to preserve outdoor wooden furniture... works a treat;)

Depending on what you want to do afterwards there is Dinitrol (http://www.dinitrol.co.uk/Portals/0/docs/W4941TDS.pdf) or Penetrol. The latter is excellent if you want to paint and it can used either straight, mixed with primer or top coat. The former provides a good anaerobic seal. Once it has a dusty crust over the top there is not way for oxygen to get through and cause rust.

In both cases it does not matter if the original surface is already rusted because they seep into the crevices, however it does pay to get in with a power washer before applying them and remove as much dirt and dust as possible.

General info about Dinitrol in Oz is here (http://www.chemetall.com.au/images/cmcplr.pdf) at Chemetall (http://www.chemetall.com.au/).
