wheels might need rebalancing with all that gunk on mostly the lower half of the wheel when sprayed. There's one wheel on my wagon, but i'm still rollin' along, it's the cherokee, they're after me, but I'm singing a happy song

For any wannabe waxoyl sprayers a few handy tips:
1) D3 owners want good coverage over the bits most likely to cause them problems e.g. inside and out of chassis, key steel panels etc, including the boot (I'd suggest owners removing the spare in advance)
2) they don't want any waxoyl on their paintwork or alloys, and don't feel that non-metal parts need a covering
3) they'd prefer the car back in the same number of parts that it arrived in
4) before spouting off on forums it is wise to read the forums and get a feel for the type of people on them. The fact that alloys are regularly traded for £100's on here suggests that covering them in waxoyl is not a sought after service.

For Mac, Yes it is B&A, Chris relocated to the midlands a while back, as noted in his extensive advertising campaigns in the specialist press. Also his forum ID is consistent with other thread's elsewhere. Craig

Getting away from the bunfight and back to the product itself, has anyone tried the high pressure DIY sprayer like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hammerite-Applicat...amp;sr=8-4
I would be interested to nail the rusted components on my08, How hard can it be

not hard at all, just very dirty and sticky! You need to give the car damn good wash, let it fully dry and then find someone who doesn't mind their drive covered in waxoyl and a missus who doesn't mind you covered in it! Tony

People and businesses make mistakes all the time. If someone makes a mistake with something of mine, it is the way that the problem is dealt with that shows the true class of a person/people and or a business. The attitude of chrissyboy is in my opinion disgusting. If one of my customers was unhappy with some work that we had done to their van then I would immediately ask them to bring the vehicle back to rectify the issue to THEIR satisfaction and not belittle them!

Got to agree with this statement. We have 15,000 customers and if there is any problem I just sort it straight away apologising for the inconvenience.
To run a successful business it just makes total sense.
Best regards
Chris
