Woolwax application cost?

Hahaha! @Shellshock is way ahead of me.

 

Just put a tarp down in garage... I use Boeshield T-9 for the suspension (doesn't attract dust/dirt as much and is clear) and FF for everything else.

 

The first tune I did it, I used fluid film aerosols in the garage.

since then I’ve used woolwax outside with the compressor. It’s way less work to apply (your hand will be tired after a couple aerosols) and I am able to get a lot better and more consistent coverage. I did 3 vehicles a couple weeks ago in well under an hour.

being outside is nice to not sit in a cloud of spray lol

Nice sale goin on

 

I just did mine and was shocked how much if a mess it *wasn't*. It makes me feel I didnt do it right, but I did get a visible kayer on everything I was able to see. Only had a single drip out of the right rocker panel.

But I wasnt able to get inside the tiny holes of the door and hood. If I can get info on how people do that I will go back in.

 

This is what you need to do inside doors and hood, the wand is only a couple of millimeters wide and fits in most panel gaps and door drains.

Yeah, I have to grab that wand with the 360 nozzle. I got 10 15oz cans from walmart, so I have plenty. Maybe enough for next year too. But will need to get in the doors and plugs, so Ill have to find that wand.
After I go thru these, Ill probly just go with the spray kit.

 

I pay the pros @ Krown rustproofing $120 cash (Canadian). Drips like a bitch for a few days. I know they did a great job, an I just drive away...

 

As others said. Make sure you put a tarp down. It’s very very messy. Also good to do outside so your garage doesn’t smell like a sheep pen for the next few months. Dont ask how I know. Haha

 

Don't understand this tarp nonsense, sounds like a good way to ruin a perfectly good tarp. FF isn't gonna hurt you driveway or the ground.

 

I guess if you like a grease covered driveway. And the smell. No tarp needed then.

 

It just soaks in, rejuvenates the asphalt too. How do you avoid the smell when you just coated the underside of your truck with it?

 

Im a DIY guy, but believe me, with this messy shit, Id rather pay 120 and just be done with it. Two places in my area gave me a quote. 329 at one, 350 the other. So...no thanks.

 

I would not want to do it in an enclosed space…

wind will keep you breathing better air and will vary off overspray- easy to do. woolwax lasts a long time - good stuff!

 

I do it in my garage but with an open door and a fan blowing. The fan is mostly for the smell. The Fluid Film largely goes where you want it. Any "overspray" is inconsequential.

 

I spray in the garage with the door open and wash the floor with a degreaser when I'm done. Floor could use a good cleaning once a year anyway.

 

The first time I applied Woolwax with a compressor, I did it in our garage. I completely underestimated how much "overspray" would be in the air. It didn't seem that bad while I was crawling around under the truck. Needless to say, a lot of items in the garage were covered in a fine coating of Woolwax.

Also, I find Woolwax to have much less odor than Fluidfilm.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. I decided to go ahead and order the kit from WW. Going with this one...

Includes the gun, quart bottles, wands, a gallon of WW, and some extra aerosol stuff that I can use with the FF cans I bought.

Ill keep the FF cans for "touch ups" in the future.

 

Can confirm, this is totally doable in the open air with spray cans. No, I didn’t spray the rotors or brakes of any kind. No, the wife WAS pissed because it was on the driveway until spring. No, I haven’t done it since, but that’s only because now I get it done every year for about $20 more than I paid for the spray cans and my driveway stays clean.

 

Unless it's a 5 gallon kit or you are only doing a surface spray, there is no way you are going to get 8 vehicles out of the 4qt kit. The 4qt kit will do a good job on your Taco and if you are really OCD about getting into all the spaces you can, you will use just about all of it on 1 vehicle.
