SPRUCE GOOSE GETS THE WAXOYL TREATMENT
This is the first in what may become a series of posts using information supplied by Wulfie on ‘preventative maintenance for your f’
Wulfie took Spruce Goose to Simon Rawdon Tyres in Horncastle, Lincolnshire www.simonrawdontyres.co.uk
The cost was £40 + VAT + Sid’s tip
It took 1.5 hours to do
Here's some tips:
Make sure you or the garage clean your windows/windscreen before driving off as the waxoyl leaves a very fine mist all over the car. Remember to clean the wiper blades too.
Waxoyl must be applied to the car on a dry day when roads are dry also
Don’t clean the car’s body/paintwork before you go… you’ll need to do it afterwards though!!
Allow 1 full day for the sticky waxoyl to dry under the car before wetting it through washing, or driving through fords, floods, puddles etc.
Needs doing once a year – summer time is best
Waxoyl prevents the build up of rust, and will kill off a small amount of existing rust.
Can be applied in clear or black – photos of mine show the black effect
There is a very slight whiff of oily odour for first few miles when done – all normal, nothing to worry about.
If you can take the car for a drive afterwards it will help to dry the waxoyl a lot quicker (20-30 miles of straight run)
Wulfie couldn't believe the difference the waxoyl treatment made to the look of SG’s undercarriage.
Enjoy the photos of Spruce Goose’s first waxoyl treatment:
