on dirty surface or on wet surface - Waxoyl
In place I can wash the underside of my car or apply Waxoyl, I cannot stay for a long time.
So I have to wash, dry incompetely, and then apply Waxoyl on partially wet car. The other choice is to wash the underside on a day, go home, and come back the next day and apply Waxoyl. The car will be more dryer (it cannot be completely dry because in this season in this area, every car gets wet every night - dew), but it will be dirtier because of the trip. Which is better choice?

I did not apply Waxoyl to any painted, exposed body surface on my truck intentionally. I did get a bit on a door and it took kerosene on a rag to get it off. I applied the product to the dry underside, wheelwells, suspension, frame, etc. of the entire vehicle. To do this I drove the truck on to ramps and then jacked the rear up and supported with jackstands. This way I could roll around under the beast and spray Waxoyl at will. It is a very sticky, oily, waxy substance as the name implies. It will soak right in through dirt/dust, etc. so anything more than a simple hose off of the underside a few days prior is likely overkill. You will get dirty doing this. Wear clothes you don't care about and eye protection. The fine mist produced by the applicator will get all over you and your glasses. Having someone else handy to clean them periodically for you is recommended. Tough to see through a filmy haze of Waxoyl. I like the product, it seems to do a good job of sealing off both painted and unpainted metal. Hope this helps, RT

overspray -> thick foam
I just sprayed Waxoyl Professional 120-4 aerosol and Waxoyl Professional Hardwax (black) aerosol on yougurt can for a test.
When I spray too much, it does not drip at all. It just forms thick foam and clings to vertical surface. It does not flow down. So, unless I apply very carefully, the thick foam of Waxoyl may block water flow , trap wather and cause rust. The product I tested was Waxoyl AG product, no Hammerite or Finnigan lable. The cans I tested look like this: http://catalog.roversnorth.com/catalog/large/waxoyl.jpg Are DIY Waxoyl different? Do they flow well?
