Bought this Electric Spray Gun from Screwfix.com 240v. 80w Was £12.99p now £9.99p.Best tool i have found for The underbody Waxoil. The only downside you can't get into the Chassis. Apart from that it is ideal for the job. I put the 5Ltr tin of Waxoil in boiling water first and it works a treat.

Did it make a mess on your drive - road - track - or wherever you had the van parked?
I need to do this job but am put off by the potential mess.

Thanks for the tip AndAndDen I've got mine to do soon so this look like a good way to start. Any advice how to get into the chassis?

Its wax so the boiling water would melt it and help to clean the nozle

I was thinking oil/water not oil/water/temp, I shall slap myself now with the nearest dead fish.

Hi neil, i'me still looking into how to spray the inside of the chassis .

I was speaking to bigdaddycain, he's got one of those high pressure pump action guns, i'me still waiting for bigdaddycain to use his (hint hint)

to see if he gets a result. They have them in Halfords at the moment £28, so if big daddy gets a result i will be going down that road .The only other way is to buy a decent compressure or hire one (not worth it) is there anybody out there got any ideas? cos this is doing my head in.

Hi Andy, the gun that is with my waxoil kit is a mechanical/vacuum type one... i have no idea if its "man" enough to reach all the nooks and crannies inside the chassis or not...
In fact, i have just had my bongo waxoiled at Wheelquick, so the kit is still untouched,so if you fancy making me an offer for it at the next meet....

I think i paid about £20 for it...

Bigdaddy ( Steve ) sounds like the one i was looking at in Halfords. Its also in kit form ( high pressure manual pump action ).Thankyou for the offer of yours but i think i will give yours a miss . Going to look for a garage that can waxoil the chassis and nooks and crannys

. The spray gun i suggested previously i can use for the rest of the jobs. Andy
