Waxoyl help
Hi all, just been looking into getting the old Bongo Waxoyled but which one do I go for Black or Clear?
I have read the black is the best ( a landrover forum), I didn't even know there was a choice of colour.
So any feed back would be great, cheers.

Re: Waxoyl help
I went for black because it's easier to see where you've done.

I don't think it matters as long as it stays facing the tarmac

Re: Waxoyl help
Make sure you are wearing clothes you are happy to throw away, protect the drive from any droppings and sprayings, and wear a respirator.
And make sure the black stuff is waxoyl and not underseal as that cracks over time - at least that's what folks seem to say
And Don't Fuss with Me

Re: Waxoyl help
I put my waxoyl tin in a cool box full of hot water, but I'd water it down with white spirit a bit more next time as well. Doesn't taste very nice either 

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

How many pints did you drink

Re: Waxoyl help
Cheers guys, will take on board your tips.
Just to let you know I have just bought 5L tin of the black from halfords for £19.99, which seems a very good price.

How are you doing the boxed pillar sections round the windscreen? Mine are blistering on the outside, so I'd like to inject some in there somehow, I presume there's a probability of the waxoil sliding down into the cab.
Also, what about the damp that could be in there?

I would assume the plastic will come off on the inside and will have holes somewhere? will let you know if I get that far
