I don't nor have I ever owned an Alfa, but I DO own 20 - 35 year old vehicles so any car channel is good, especially dealing with maintenance & rust. Thumbs up!
Top job & excellent advise for anyone wanting to keep a vehicle long term. Waxoyl extends the cars life substantially. I'm just doing my astra, low mileage, pre dpf, diesel with an Isuzu engine - hence quite simple & fairly reliable so, I want it to last ! Apologies for mentioning Vauxhall - I have previously owned an Alfa 147 & loved it, until a young lady wrote it off for me ! Hope this softens the mention of the Astra. Love your videos, thank you.
I’ve used hammerite under seal with wax oil. I did start to use kurust to treat rust but I’m wondering if I need to. Can I just put the under seal on without the kurust
I could definitely use some sort of rust-proof layer coating the underside of my next vehicle purchase. The county salts up the roads so heavily during the icy winters, and it just eats away terribly at the metal.
Great job 👍 Had my 2007 Land Rover Freelander 2 ‘Dinitrolled’ last year at SW Rustproofing to slow the rusting process down - best £investment I’ve made 😁
Love to see the love for the Alfas....I just had the chance / the luck to buy an Alfa Romeo 159 SW 3.6 Q4 Ti a couple of months ago. I am already happy now after a few repairs ;)
Why did it all look black after it was done when you were using the clear waxoyl? I'm thinking of doing my own car soon but was planning on using the clear one so that I can see what was going on behind it when I inspect it each year.
i prefer used diesel l oil and and some thinners seems to last for at least a year sray into the doors and bonnet and boot of my alfa sud still going strong
@@c9o8l7i6n5 Well done. those ol Suds sure had the old rust worm , and in the 1970s the Italian rust worm were of the Russkia Russovia genus… STEEL IMPORTED FROM RUSSIA IN EXCHANGE FOR THE LINGOTTO PLANT IN TURIN THAT PRODUCED THE FIAT 124 …made into The Lada cars in Russia ….crap steel made with no rust inhibiter. regaurds Eddy
@@stephenh8706 no. not really. if clogged with earth u have to power wash down… Some times I add engine oil to the mix…. BUT THE MAJOR POINT IS TO SPRAY INSIDE THE COMPONENTS AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDES. If the arms…sub frames are rotted… YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE ROTTED PART. So use a hammer to bash the parts first . If rotted u will see. Regards Eddy
You really do need to wear a face mask when spraying Waxoyle. There are long term effects on your lungs after inhaling those nasty fumes. An extractor fan doesn’t do much.
Thank you for your concern ref. my lungs but normally wear a face mask as well as a head covering and use a big fan to blow the fumes out of the workshop open gate. But doing the video wanted to show what I was doing. Eddy
@@jeffreyhemingway9578I think that’s down to Ford who used non galvanised steel and wax oils work better when the steel is new and not been attacked by the old rust worm…and how did you use it. I mist the wax oil in and also mix some old engine oil with the wax oil… regaurds Eddy
Zero rust abatement. Zero removal of original flaking hard coating. A real dichotomy between the stated goal and the actual work done. Others here seem easily impressed. But the frame of this car is cooked. Might as well just use black spray paint.
I clicked subscribe! You clearly adore Alfas! I have a miracle. Bought in 1984 by one owner in the Kalahari Desert, for 32 years. There! 100-180mm of rain a year. It’s had one piece of welding to the battery tray, which 10 year old cars can have. It is a RHD Alfasud Ti, and apparently, Alfas were painted better than Mercs in South Africa! 💚🤍❤
