Thats useful thanks. It was applied to clean uncorroded metal (new repair section in door frame) - and its not been particularly warm, but its clearly not had time to cure. And I did apply it pretty liberally thinking more was better. I'll let whatever is left go off for a bit then give it another little spray in a month or so. I've used it on the rear door before and not had any problems with it running out - think I was just a bit over zealous this time.

I'd LOVE to stop the water getting in there in the first place - shocked at quite how much gets in around the seals etc which were also replaced for new. I've applied some dumdum type stuff into the corners of the frames where the window seal meets the frame - I think that's the main source of water getting in. Will give it the hosepipe test again at the weekend and apply more as required.

Whatever it says on the can i would not use waxoyl unless its in a spell of hot weather,everything has to be dry and warm,i also would not put a pressure washer anywhere near an anti corrosion treated surface,certainly not near any chassis access holes,i have seen peeps pressure washing their suspension to make things shiny but i would rather have a coat of oily grime,

I have just been under my series for an oil leak, and some of the wax is coming off at the edges, and I will be pressure washing the arse off of it, if nowt falls off then I can say its sound and good enough to rewax.
If it cannot handle the pressure washer it cannot handle the road spray of many thousands of miles.

I also live by the sea and waxoil Each year.... or every other year .... I pressure wash the living daylights out of everything I can.... inside the frame and outside to get rid of all dirt, salt and any loose paint etc.... I then let this dry out for a week and even tarp up and put the fan heater under the car to warm it up and help it dry. Inspect for any devastation by poking and prodding with a screwdriver (only one spot where I have not wax oiled before....) And then reapply lots and lots of waxoil ! I don’t think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread but was unaware of alternatives and glad I have done something rather than nothing. Will look into alternative stuff to spray into the chassis.
