While I've got the complete interior stripped out to find an annoying water leak in the drivers footwell and 1 or 2 other bits that need doing I thought I might as well Waxoyl all the nooks and crannies.
Does anyone know an online supplier? Checked Halfrauds site but it's not listed. Found a 2.5 litre kit with all the bits and pieces on the MGOC site for about Ԛ£26 + P&P. How far will this go? I intend to do the whole car eventually, inside and out.

Also if anyone has fitted a Toad Ai606 to their car - best place to fix the control unit for security and access if needed?

If you do a search on a company called Dinitrol. They do much the same sort of thing and I think they do diagrams for where to spray the stuff on various specific cars :)

Dinitrol is rumored to be better than Waxoyl, well a lot of the 'Classic Car' people say so :)

BP do a Dinitrol clone, I've used it in the past and it works pretty well. Bare steel plough shares painted with the stuff stayed non-rusty for nearly 3 years, which is pretty good considering our house is about 500m from the Irish Sea. :)
