Waxoyling: drainage points

daveycooper · 6th April 2024, 07:11

I’ll be waxoyling the car in the near future using Bilt Hamber products that I have used in the past and favour over other products like waxoyl itself.

Are there drainage holes, channels or drainage tubes that I should be aware of and avoid clogging up?

Also, when it comes to the cills, do people take the jacking pads out and inject creeping sealing from there? Any other chassis access points?

Cheers
David

The rear part of the sills seems the most common for rot. I've tried to treat mine by removing the jacking pads, accessing the grommet hole in the front of the rear wheelarch but there is an additional hole on the inside of the sills (under the car) on each side covered by some kind of thick tape. You should see the tape about 4" inward from the back of the sills. Puncture the tape and you'll find the hole.

Good luck

The plastic kick covers on the edge of the door aperture covering the carpets, when removed leave the fixing holes straight into the cills.

If you pull out the rear seat side pads
there is a hole covered by a sticky pad.
Squirt a load of wax in there it will run down
Into The main area that causes rear jack points failing .
