<font size=3>The pressurized can Waxoyl is truely an excellent system.
The interior formula that you are probably researching was shown to
perform excellently and it is very similar to the formulations the
factory used. <br>
<br>
However, in tests the exterior panel formula waxoyl does not do that
well. <br>
<br>
You can also make your own waxoyl at home with wax and turpentine or wax
and kerosene or something like that. For more about that, search the old
Google/Deja Groups postings I think. <br>
<br>
I never regretted having too much of it so I would buy the larger kit.
<br>
<br>
Also, since it is somewhat goopy, you are well to renew after a few years
because I think it sort of seeps away or something. But that is good,
because it provides the best coverage. <br>

<blockquote type=cite cite>Dear Troops: Found a US source of Waxoyl
and was wondering how much of it<br>
was needed to properly rustproof a vanagon. The source has the

sprayer and 2.5 litres of product on sale for $53 plus shipping. Is
that<br>
enough or do I need a 2.5 refill also or a can or two of the aerosol
for<br>
tight spots. Cans are $13 a pop so the pump sounds much more<br>
economical. And is high pressure hose at the car wash adequate
cleaning<br>
prep? Any techniques list members have used to do a thorough and
sanitary<br>
job would be appreciated!!<br>

Thanks<br>
