Dinitrol make a range of products, for different applications.I used their cavity wax '3125' in the nooks and crannies and then their underbody wax '4941' on the exposed surfaces.

I also bought a big tin of Waxoyl, just incase , so I thought I'd give it a go the other day.

Using the same high pressure application gun for both waxes ,the Dinitrol 3125 goes on much better than the Waxoyl.
Even with the Waxoyl kept very warm.

On the other hand though, the Dinitrol is £9.50 a litre, plus vat .So I suppose you plays you money and makes your whatever...... :D

The Dinitrol underbody wax goes on superbly with a Schutz gun, which screws straight onto the cartridge. I got one for about £10 on eBay, plus a pack of 6 cartidges of cheaper underbody coating for the wheelarches for about £4.00 each.

The bloke who did the job has a lot of experience and asserts that it offers an extra layer of protection and you know, looking at it last night , I think that he was right

Here is a description of the waxoiling process It is often recommended that the waxoyl is thinned down slightly
