hi, who out there have had there car waxoyled,
i've got my tam booked in to have it done in jan and thought i'd ask if anyone had any views on the pros and cons if any on this product,
and what sort of prices you should pay to have this done properly,
how often should it be applied ,

Many indies offer this. You could try polishing and cleaning instead like another Sagaris owning Pistonheader ...

I've had my T350 waxoyled every year since i bought it (2.5 years ago) usually round about october/november time. My dealer does it for about £100-150, which in the scheme of things isn't very much for a bit more peace of mind.
If you're going to have it done, i would think oct/nov time is best, i.e. before they start gritting the roads/wet weather etc.
As far as i know, Waxoyl will basically just delay the onset of corrosion, obviously not prevent it, so anything that slows corrosion down has got to be worth it.
Many owners like to waxoyl their cars themselves, which is fine if you have the facilities/time/expertise, but i don't! Luckily though, i know my dealer will do a good job of it.

holmsie thanks for your info
i've been quoted £275.00 for the waxoyl treatment which seems a bit high compared to yours
i think they steam pressure wash it first then apply the waxoyl
is this the same as what they do for you ? thanks

Just checked my last invoice and it was £100 labour + £15 waxoyl + VAT. That was for cleaning, then application.
Your quote seems a bit high to me, but saying that, if they do a good thorough job it would be worth it!
Not sure about steam cleaning first, then sealing the moisture in with waxoyl though!!
Who did you get the quote from? Somebody on here might have had theirs done there too and will be able to give you better advice.
