Looks like they use allot of Waxoyl which is good stuff. I remember purchasing a new Triumph Spitfire back in 1974 and being young and daft it was going to last forever and I was going to make sure it did .I made a pump to pump the Waxoyl into it and onto it out of an old oil fired pressure jet burner pump and jet assembly. Boy did I soak that spitfire in Waxoyl .In the doors in the chassis in everything. Well to cut along storey short I couldn’t get away with the crude chassis and scuttle shake of the Spitfire and after about eight months i sold it privately to a local gentleman for his wife. She became a bit of a recluse and nether she or the car was seen out in public again. I think it just sat in the garage .Then about 1994 in a local auction lo and behold here is my old spitfire with maybe another few hundred miles on the clock in totally perfect condition, and I mean perfect, no rust period –truly as new. The Waxoyl had certainly done its job and was still apparent on all the areas I had coated it on after those 20 years. Admittedly 20 years of doing very little but it did convince me that Waxoyl was really good stuff.
