Anyone used this stuff before?

Seems to be made in the UK and can be got at fairly decent prices.

Personally I don't think it's worth the risk trying an unknown product. Sounds a lot like waxoyl to me.

Stick with Bilt hamber or Dinitrol products.

I’ve used BH and Dinitrol (invented in the 1930s) for about 15 years with excellent results. I used to use Waxoyl back in the eighties, but its efficacy has deteriorated significantly to the point it’s pretty ineffective IMO.

So I used this silver hook stuff last year and sprayed it in wheelarch as well to test it out. It does become a hardish wax and still not been taken off by road water and even survived pressure washer so id say it's gonna stay put in sills and box sections. Only down side is that the price of this stuff has gone up compared to last year.
