TO do it well, you need to sprip out all the boot carpets, then spray it everythere!

Take the sill covers off and spray into all the holes you can see, but only enough to cover the surfaces as the sils have dranage points under the car and if these get blocked it could cause rust longterm.

Then take the rear door cards out spray it all in there.

The best stuff is from BMW and costs Ԛ£10 it will do most of the car.

Hi, try to get hold of a lenght of flexi tube that wil fit over the end of the nozel that you are useing. put a bung at the end of the tube and make a serias of small holes in the tube so it will spray the wax out in a fan pattern 360deg, then as you spray pull the tube back out of the sill you will get better coverage this way :D

O by the way it goes better if you warm it up. Stand the what ever in a bowl of hot water for 10mins, this idea might just get me my gold badge LOL

Another good tip is to make sure the switch on the nozzle is in the off position before pressurising :o:
