Title: Waxoyl Inner Wings
Post by: Lap on 12 September 2008, 20:30

After suffering from what I suspect was rotten inner wings letting water into the car, I'm paranoid about it happening on my new one.

I was wondering if it is possible to waxoyl the inner wings without removing the outer wings? If so, what's the easiest way to do it?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Just remove the wheelarch liners, but probably worth getting a garage to do it as the job can be extremely messy.. expect lots of it to end up on the  floor!

Get black sheets/bin liners down before you start :afro:

Cheers for the suggestions. Credit card has taken a hammering recently with a head gasket/service/tyre bill so I want save some money and do it myself.

Unless the garage can do it for less than it costs me to buy a Waxoyl sprayer and some bin liners!  :grin:

As said remove the inner lining, or take off the wing, it'll be much easier.  :wink:

As soon as I get my sills sorted I'm under sealing the underside of my car inc wings

Schultz is better than waxoyl for panels imo or Waxoyl schultz (schutz) it's like a black rubbery paint that you put on :)

I'm inclined to go with the wheel arch liner off method as suggested by thom89 and Jay.

I imagine it would be quite difficult to get the shutlines all perfect again after wing removal?

Shouldn't be that difficult as there are only a few bolts holding the wing on and as long as they are aligned it should look fine.

Also, dont bother getting an expensive sprayer for the waxoyl, use either an old spray bottle (eg kitchen cleaner or similar) or one of those cheap ones from the garden, that you pump up. If you heat the waxoyl first in a water bath, it'll be like liquid, and will go into all the cracks, and then set when it cools. Easy!

That is a top tip. :smiley: Thanks for that. The sprayers seem to go for over £20.
