Product Information

Full details

Hammerite WaxOyl is the ideal solution for car enthusiasts and professional mechanics looking to extend the lifespan of vehicle underbodies and chassis. By creating a robust, moisture-displacing barrier, it effectively stops existing rust and prevents new corrosion from taking hold. While it is highly effective for large-scale rustproofing, users should note that the 5-litre format requires specialized spray equipment for optimal coverage and application efficiency.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I apply WaxOyl over existing rust?

Yes, it is designed to penetrate and neutralize existing rust, provided you remove any loose, flaking scale first.

Do I need to thin the product before use?

Usually no, provided you are using the correct spray equipment and the ambient temperature is adequate.

Is this safe for rubber bushes and hoses?

It is generally safe, but it is best practice to avoid direct, heavy saturation of soft rubber components to maintain their longevity.

How long does the protection last?

In typical driving conditions, it provides protection for several years, though an annual visual inspection is recommended.

Can I paint over WaxOyl?

No, WaxOyl is a wax-based, semi-permanent coating and is not designed to be a primer or base for automotive paint.

Troubleshooting

The product appears too thick to spray

Warm the container slightly by placing it in a room-temperature environment or a warm water bath to lower the viscosity.

Uneven finish or clogging of spray nozzle

Ensure your pressure settings are correct and clear the spray nozzle with a suitable solvent if buildup occurs.

Coating not drying or remaining tacky

WaxOyl is designed to remain flexible. A slightly tacky, waxy finish is normal and indicates it is still providing effective protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture displacement properties
  • Provides a durable and long-lasting protective barrier
  • Effective at halting the progression of existing rust
  • Large 5-litre size is cost-effective for full-vehicle projects

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade spray equipment for best results
  • Application can be messy, requiring thorough masking of surroundings
  • Large container may be overkill for minor touch-up jobs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, the vehicle surface must be clean and free from loose scale or flaking debris. While WaxOyl is designed to work over light surface rust, heavy, loose rust should be wire-brushed off first for maximum adhesion. Protect surrounding components like brake discs, rubber bushes, and exhaust pipes, as the product is designed to adhere to metal and can be difficult to remove from unintended surfaces. For care, inspect the coating annually; if the layer appears thin or washed away in high-splash zones like wheel wells, a simple touch-up application can be performed. Store the 5-litre container in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and keep the lid tightly sealed to prevent solvent evaporation.
