I would soak everywhere the kit covers in waxoil.

Nothing imo, just take the kit off every now and again, and give it a thorough clean.

Don't put waxoil everywere its horrible stuff to get off. That said this is just my opinion, I may be proved wrong.

the sills have got a coat of satin black but its also bumpy...ive also realised that the waxoil gets quite hot/burns.....wouldnt that melt/peel the paint on the sill ?

thanks.
