Hi,

I've not really thought about it to be honest...

I've been more entangled with getting the parts for it, that I haven't really thought about it.

I have actually given the car a good wax'ing a few weeks ago. But answered - Don't know hadn't thought about it!

Is there a better protective product part from the good old wax???

Yunis A · 30th October 2004, 10:12 PM

yeah im sure there is, but a lot of the new cars today use some sort of grey ruberised stuff..i think it better than the black underseal...

i really need to get done as the car has no underseal

Had mine done at a place where Morgan have there cars done in Malvern, good price to, even do the outside lip of the rear arches.

Oredered my car from Newera - when it arrived Motormall offered the option to waxoyl the car. Not expensive, £50 I think.

No mate - I am on about the old bent one. At least the underside won't rot while it is sat outside Abbey

Mookistar · 31st October 2004, 12:06 PM

brilliant thread guys

i wanted to have mine waxoyl'd but was worried about all the technical guts down there.

is there any areas underneath which you should avoid getting oyl on?

also, i got quoted £100 to do the car, and as i don't have a pit or decent rapms i can't think where to get it done cheaper

anyone?>

Yunis A · 31st October 2004, 12:07 PM

i wouldnt even kow where to start wax oiling an R32...

would i have to take off the inside rear qtr trim panels to get to the arches?

SkyJawa · 31st October 2004, 12:14 PM

Mookistar · 31st October 2004, 12:15 PM

appararently mines been done, but the vehicle inspectio i had when i bought it, said it was missing in one area.

love the smell of waxoyl on a hot exhaust, takes me back to my mini days

I have never really thought about it, as my car was unavoidably off the road last year.

Are all the people who voted that they don't think it necessary going to explain why, or just leave everyone spending out money when it might not be worth it?

Yunis A · 31st October 2004, 01:16 PM

yeah might have to call richard bell up and ask him.. does he still work from his dads body shop? or has he now got his own place?
