    He sprayed inside the doors, behind the rockers, inside all the frame rails, inside the tailgate, under the floor of the cab, and all the places you can't really see with the clear/amber woolwax. The axles, suspension components, frame rails, inside the rear fenders, hitch, etc that you can see are done in black. Nothing under the hood was sprayed.

    I tried to take some pictures but you can't really tell anything has been done...just looks wet.

    From what I've read, woolwax does creep but just more slowly since it is thicker.

    Good point...the oil spray place I go to sprays the oil warm...I usually wait until November to get it done, so the colder weather means it will drip a little less. They use an oil with a tackifier (bar oil?!) in it so it sticks better. It is a little messy for a week or so, but as long as you aren't parking on brand new concrete or something, meh. I grab some large boxes from the recycle bin and put down to park over for the first week or two, that gets 98% of the drip mess. If you park on gravel, free dust control!

    Guy I use charges more but removes plastic body panels wheel wells door panels etc But if vehicle is over 8 years old price goes up because plastic clips become brittle and break; those for OEM are expensive

    if vehicles lasts then worth it here
