Just a quickie... Where are the best places to jack-up the car at the front and back?

I want to Waxoyl the undercarriage so I need it up on stands.

Many thanks

Use one of the two large square section chassis rails running the length of the car near the middle using a trolley jack if poss and once high enough, support the car with axle stands.

(you can do the front first, then the back)
