Front wheel arch showing suspension units painted woth black POR15, Dinitrol applied to area subject to spray and waxoyl applied to all other areas. Prior to applying the protective coating the wheelarch was painted with clear POR15 for added protection.

Underpan treated with Dinitrol and front box sections treated internally with waxoyl.

by **Ellen Balmer** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 22:09

Make sure all areas are treated.

Front floor pan painted with clear POR15 and both inner and outer cills treated through the large lightening holes. The cills are fitted with drains so do not be tempted to fill them completely because it will all drain out on the first hot day!!

by **Ellen Balmer** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 22:13

Rear floorpan and bulkhead similarly treated.

by **Ellen Balmer** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 22:16

Below the parcel shelf are the drain holes for any water seeping past the rear window seal. The waxoyl flexible probe is ideal for treating the inner area. Keep the pressure up and the waxoyl heated.

by **Ellen Balmer** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 22:18

All the areas normally covered at the front by bumper, grilles and headlamps were treated to a coat of clear POR15 then a coat of waxoyl.

by **Ellen Balmer** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 22:20

Same for the rear.

by **Ellen Balmer** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 22:22

Lots of fiddly sections under the boot around the wheel well. Make sure all surfaces are coated and then get a flexible lance inside the box sections and treat these thoroughly.

For around £100 in materials and a few days work you can put a big smile on someones face.
