Waxoyl

(1/3) > >>

stefan:
Guys,

Due to this run of great weather, I managed to jetwash the chassis and dry it out for waxoyl'ing which I did yesterday. Now on the can it's say's not to spray the exhaust pipes or silencers, which is easier said than done!!

Anyway my question is, does it really matter if there is some waxoyl on the exhaust system? Or will I have to get underneath and start scraping once it's set?

matthew:
It should just melt or burn off. If it is only a few small splashes I wouldn't be too worried. You could try some white spirit or thinners on a rag to get it off.

Moose:
I should have a look at your MG, I bet there is some on the exhaust - this assumes they still put it on in the same haphazard manner as the did in the eighties, when I had my MG saloons.

stefan:
Chris,

I think the underbody treatment is put on way before the cars reach the exhaust fitting stations, and they have this really smart machine that runs on an air cushion that simply lifts the exhaust up into place, no muscles required!!

I noticed all this on a FREE trip to the factory, Land Rover take note, you tight gits!

Moose:
Progress is been made then in the uk car industry, I had 4 new MG saloon, and all of the had this orange colour underseal all over the exhaust, wheel backs, engine part, gearboxes, if only they had aimed better on the bodywork. I might still have one of them

 - but then again perhaps not - no street cred in a Maestro
