It's actually called waxoil. I'd is normally sprayed on. The vehicle will need to go on a hydraulic ramp so the mechanic can get to all of the underside. Well worth doing as the Japs do not use salt on their roads, so the underside won't corrode.😊

Hi Iain,

We had ours treated in 2022 and then checked last year to see if it needed 'topping up' (no need...).The treatment was upol with added waxoyl, our sprayer said the underside was clean enough to avoid prior steam cleaning, so it wasn't too pricey. Roads aren't salted in Japan, so I gather this is the reason that vehicles aren't undersealed. In the UK, on the other hand....
