POR15 is great but a real PITA to prep for. Also £££ and once the tin is open you have to use it.

You are going to want 4941 for the underside and 3125 for the box sections although I have to say I prefer applying the Bilthamber dynax cavity wax. Make sure you get a long extension spray tube to reach right down the sills etc.

I like to use the underbody (4941) wax on the surfaces, I find with waxoyl it tens to dry up and crack, this stuff doesn't and kind of self heals.


With POR 15 unless the surface is perfect it peels off after a year or so.

I did all the arches on my 911 with 3 cans and have some left for touching up, must have some coverage as the inner arches are quite large and exposed so a lot of surface area.  If you are just doing one car I'd buy aerosols as it would be easier and wouldn't cost much more compared to the convenience.

Sounds plenty to me, might be worth looking at those kits though.
