Waxoyling/undersealing - where to get it done near Portsmouth?

[steve10]

Hi

A mate of mine wants to get someone to clean and waxoyle the underside of his Disco.

Can anyone recommend a garage in the Portsmouth area who can do this?

Thanks

Steve

It aint fun doing your own, but wear gloves and glasses  :lol:

But I have to admit you get a sense of achievement that only finishing a suspension lift can beat  :lol:
One word of warning if you do it yourself, buy a spay xan of under seal and when you crawl under the car to fix something months later you will see bits you missed, give em a squirt  ;)

Use waxoil not underseal ;)  or better still mix underseal with waxoil
Underseal dries hard over time, and if you chip it you'll get rust growing nicely away to itself protected by the underseal.

If you mix in wax oil then it stop's it setting and it becomes self healing.

If you've access to a compressor and one of those parafin blowers, waxoiling is pretty easy to do. Get a length of hose pipe though so you can do inside the chassis rails through the holes.  Most things rust from the inside out ;)

Look at the tin next to me its waxoyl  ;) just said under-seal as a generic term.

The spray applicators you can buy are surprisingly good, I thought it would block but it did a few cars in one go.

Sorry drift, I wasn't referincing your post, just saying that underseal, as in the thick black hard sealing gloop on it's own is not a good thing to be using.

Hi

Thanks for the replies. My mate lives in the middle of Pompey and doesn't want to do the job himself though so if anybody knows a garage in that area who can do the job please let me know.

thanks

Steve
