Lorryman100 ,

Could you give us your view of the work once complete , over spray , coverage etc...etc... I was looking at their website and it looked really good but then found some unhappy customers when searching around. Your always going to get unhappy customers so a current view from a trusted party would be great.

Thanks Barry

Well, left the house Wednesday morning at 5am and arrived at waxworks at 7.40 am. Simon the owner turned up 5 mins later and took the landy straight in. We then spent the next hour talking about classic cars and motorbikes (he has a very nice Beamish Suzuki). I asked what the waxoyl process was and he starts off by thoroughly washing the underside, once that's done he waxoyl's the doors, bulkhead and pillars. Then the landy goes inside and is thoroughly dried with a heater. Next the loose rust is wirebrushed off before coating any rust in Brunox Epoxy Convertor. The underside is then waxoyl'd and left to drip whilst he comes and collects me.
So as there is nowhere to wait I hired a car for the day from a local business and then spent the next 6 hours in it in the car hire car park, didn't turn a wheel. Instead I had took my laptop so watched a film or two, plugged in the dongle and had a look on here and finally ended up kipping for an hour or two (not easy in a Chevrolet Kalos ) Simon then came and collected me and said that my Landy was in good nick apart from some rust in the O/S/R door near the bottom, the paint had bubbled so it will be added to the warranty list next time it goes in. Once back at the waxworks had a good look underneath and saw a good coating on everything with the landy still dripping black waxoyl, also from the door hinges etc. Also noticed some waxoyl had come into the front dash by the heater vents but he had wiped it after he did the bulkhead. He used 25 litres on the underside, interior bulkheads doors etc and took him just over 6 hours start to finnish. Thanked Simon for the work he done and was informed that there is a 5 year guarantee and a free top up, if needed inspection each year. Drove the landy home in the pishing rain and ended up with a headache due to the smell of the waxoyl
Went out today and hand washed the landy with hot soapy water and micro fibre cloths. Found some spatters of waxoyl but nothing like what I was expecting and they soon came off. Also took the opportunity to closely inspect the underside and stick my hand into box sections etc to check everything was covered, it had
Overall for £370, I am delighted with the outcome. Only downer was the distance and waiting in a hire car for the job to get done, admittedly I could have went somewhere or took the train into Newcastle for the day

Simon also said that if you use him let him know you are on this forum and he will give you a further 10% discount....
