but what do the pros do drill a hole into your sill and box section and weld up afterwards ??

They drill holes and then fit grommets.

How it's done properly Waxoyl........ Note how clean the car was before applied.  Most of mine was done long ago and it shows, compared to other younger golfs I've had with nothing.

worst job to ever do, ive done it with the pump and lance and that sh!t gets everywhere so have the good old blue garage roll handy to clean up bits you dont want to cover and try to mask areas aswell.
