Product Information

Full details

Hammerite WaxOyl is designed for car enthusiasts and DIY mechanics who need a heavy-duty solution to stop vehicle underbody corrosion. The key benefit of this formula is its ability to displace moisture and creep into tight crevices where rust typically hides, providing a long-lasting, flexible barrier. A notable caveat is that its non-drying, wax-based finish can remain tacky to the touch, which may attract dirt and dust if applied to exposed exterior panels, making it best suited for enclosed cavities, chassis, and underbody areas.

FAQs

Can I apply Hammerite WaxOyl over existing rust?

Yes, it is designed to penetrate existing rust and stop it from spreading, provided that any loose or flaky rust is removed first.

Is WaxOyl paintable?

No, it is a non-drying, wax-based product and should not be painted over.

How long does the protection last?

The duration depends on exposure, but in sheltered cavities, it can provide protection for many years.

Should I apply it to my engine block?

No, WaxOyl is not suitable for high-temperature areas like engines or exhaust systems.

How do I remove it if I need to perform welding?

You must remove the WaxOyl using a degreaser or solvent cleaner in the specific area before welding to prevent smoke and potential fire hazards.

Troubleshooting

The product is too thick to spray

Warm the container in a warm room or a water bath to increase the fluidity of the wax before transferring it to your sprayer.

Wax is dripping onto the garage floor

This is common for non-drying waxes. Place a drip tray or cardboard underneath the vehicle for 24-48 hours after application.

Product is clogging the spray nozzle

Flush the sprayer system with a small amount of white spirit immediately after use to prevent wax from hardening in the lines.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent creep characteristics for hidden seams
  • Active moisture displacement protects against new rust
  • Non-drying formula prevents cracking over time
  • Significant volume suitable for full-scale restoration
  • Clear finish maintains a professional, tidy appearance

Cons

  • Surface remains tacky and can collect road debris
  • Not intended for painting over without specialized preparation
  • Bulk size requires appropriate storage space
  • Application in cold temperatures may require warming the product

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is as clean and dry as possible to maximize adhesion and moisture displacement. While WaxOyl can be applied over existing sound rust, loose scale and dirt should be removed with a wire brush.

For application, a pressure-fed sprayer or a specialized wax injection probe is recommended for cavities to ensure total coverage. For general underbody use, a brush or low-pressure sprayer suffices.

  • Compatibility: Safe for use on most metal surfaces; however, avoid contact with rubber bushings, as long-term exposure to some wax formulations can soften certain types of synthetic rubber.
  • Storage: Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent solvent evaporation.
  • Cleanup: Excess material can be removed using white spirit or a dedicated wax remover.
