How bad is wax oil? Really??

As A old land rover owner, where wax oil is the thing to use on our chassis, I'm wondering why it's so frowned upon in the TVR world?

Obviously, it would be lovely having a like new chassis, but being as I'm on a very tight budget and would rather have a chassis caked in wax oil and being structurally strong than not taking any action on its protection.

I know we all like show cars, but is it still reasonable to simply protect our chassis as opposed to turning them into show stoppers?

Thanks guys, interesting feed back.

I've every intention of keeping both the RRC and my beloved chim 450, so obviously keen to keep them in the best condition possible - maybe having to forego the ultimate in asthetics in order to keep things affordable.

Is drilling some well placed holes in the chassis tubes a good idea to enable the spraying of some wax oil a good idea?

I'm beginning to think lifting the body maybe something I might attempt over winter.
