How are you cleaning coils?

I found the best method was wire wheel on a bench grinder. Then put a nice amount of copper grease on the threads all the way up and wind up and down a few times. It's been sat for 4 months and I just raised it and fine.

That's fine for a car that's not moving but for one that's on the move, you can't beat chain wax as it doesn't wash off.

Yh pritty much the same way, pritty supprised as none of the adjuster rings were seazed on so they must have been pritty well looked after before

Chain wax you say?!

Yarp.

Its meant for motorbike chains as obviously oil won't stay on for long at the speed they would be spinning at.  Set mine up to the height I wanted, sprayed chain wax on the whole lot and they're as mint now as the day I bought them.  Have adjusted since with no bother.  Plenty of people have suffered with seized rings after not being adjusted for long periods and going bone dry and rusty.

Another option for coilovers is to spray them with waxoil.

Chain wax is a miracle cure, works on everything from coil-overs to pulleys

So I guess I'm buying some chain wax then.
