rustproofing
tonycougar:
I was told that used engine oil would be bad for your chassis because it has some bad chemicals in it. I was also told that if I wanted to use engine oil as an underseal/rustproofing then buy some new cheap engine oil and use that. I suppose that way you wouldn't be disposing of it either and therefore not breaking the law. But the cost of the engine oil may be about the same as waxoil.
I think the waxoil looks better if its done properly.
Holyzeus:
i got 5 litres from B&Q for just over £6, much cheaper than Waxoil i would think
TechnoTurkey:
When I spray the waxoyl onto mine (just with the supplied hand spray, not compressor), I just leave the can in a bucket of hot (from the kettle) water and this heat thins it down a treat.
