![]() ![]() ![]() The cavity wax applicators are brilliant for inside the ladder chassis, as you pull the probe along you can hear and see the spray approaching through the various drain holes in the chassis (so many people forget inside the chassis, think of Navaras with broken backs), similarly you'll see misting appear in door drain holes and if you have any access holes for the sills/arches etc you can really go to town on them, its a very satisfying job, then coat the chassis outside and the exposed body underbelly in the the wax designed for heavy wear, this goes on well. You can buy their large aerosols, the cavity wax of which come with a long probe which has a proper diffuser fitment on the end, i've yet to have a blockage but obviously don't try and apply in cold weather.Ĭompared with Waxoyl its very expensive, however the wastage and ease of use and cleaner work IMHO balance out as being a similarly priced job, and the smell is gone in days, the products are IMHO very good, probably on a par with Dinitrol, i have also bought their wheel cleaner (spooky how it works) and their car wash TFR meant for pressure washers, it goes on snowfoam like and brings the paint up a treat, i'm a big fan of BH's products as you can tell though i have no affiliation other than as a satisfied customer, i get no discounts either :-) I used to use waxoyl before, but the stink (months) and the mess was unbelievable, having to warm the stuff up on the cooker hotplate just to try and help it flow, soon as it cooled your spray pipe and nozzles would be blocked up in seconds, their applicator was genuinely a nail pushed into a thin pipe.Ĭan't remember where i first heard about Bilt Hamber but i gave it a try, what a revelation. If you want a good underbody steam cleaning prior to rustproofing, or as a deep clean after the winter salt has gone, try a commercial vehicle workshops, they usually have a ramp that lorries can be driven up onto giving access to the underbody for steam cleaning, your Disco will straddle the ramp easily, and these chaps know what they are about, doing the job without damage, you can always wrap any modules or electronic units that might suffer in cable tied polythene wrap. ![]() Like you and the trusty Disco 2, i have every intention of this LC lasting for many long years. I do a thorough job, i've had one vehicle professionally rustproofed £400 (would cost more now) but i believe i did a better job myself, and since using better materials in the form of BH instead of Waxoyl, the job is easier better quality and infinitely less messy, and these new better materials dry faster without the months long stench that you have after Waxoyling. Rustproof my own vehicles and use Bilt Hamber's finest to do the job, my Landcruiser being a similar size to your Disco cost a bit over £200 in product to do a thorough job, but if you have a compressor and shutz type gun you could probably knock £80 off that cost by buying their bulk packs. I have an L shaped lance for my pressure washer, ideal for these underbody blasts, but high quality pressure washers are in a completly different league (and cost) to the usual accessory shop items, mine is a Kranzle.Īlso make use of a long Ford, the old road in the nearest village which passes parallel to the bridge and at about 20 yards acrossand about a foot deep is ideal to drive through, so after a few wet mild days when the salt has had a chance to drain away from the roads and the underbody salting softened, i make a detour on the way home and go through the Ford a few times at a suitable speed to give the underside a really good rinse down.
