Well, I've just spent an hour straight with a 4000psi jetwasher removing the old waxy oil and crud from my 03 chassis, and I think this is one of the only ways to do so. Tried doing it with an angle grinder wire brush and it just smears. So after getting soaked head to tow and coming out black myself, I thought, why the hell do people use this sh*t.
The only thing I see it doing, is protecting it for a certain amount of time, and then the chassis just rusts underneath it and it eventually begins to peal off.

I would much prefer a good quality rust inhibiting primer, chassis paint and maybe a top coat of stone chip, which is what I will do now the "majority" of the old waxy oil has been removed..
Gave me a good look at the chassis, needs a small weld where its split on the join up the rear, but nothing major and not in too bad shape.

..Never again :confused:
Maybe trying to understand what it does, how it should be used and why would do wonders for your ignorant opinion.
 
sprayed mine with linseed oil , there was a thread on it so i thought give it a go smell for a few days but seems ok

I have read about that and thought about it, but mine is already covered in waxoil.
I think ANY oil on metal is going to protect it.....with limits. The wax mix is just a means of making it stick. Our chassis live in a very hostile environment though. They get sand blasted everyday and are exposed to some of the worst kinds of corrosive substances.
 
generally because its sprayed onto an already rusting chassis,it does slow it, but not much would perform well on rust stone chip etc would be worse

As above. Stonechip is terrible for chassis in my experience and just helps trap damp and increase rust rates. Waxoil is very good when used correctly and applied to a well prepared chassis.
