Why not, hmm......
Cost, time, mess.

Why, prevention better than cure.

Alternatively you only take it out when its dry and there is no salt on the roads

Scott, have a chat with Chris as I know he has started doing this for a number of cars if you haven't already.
You may also want to think about getting a bra.

My Moobs aren't that big you cheeky begger
Already have a few stone chips.... so maybe too late.

As the S is a daily drive.... it needs to go out in all weathers.

I'll give Chris a call and see what he says.


Cheers!

Have you looked in the mirror recently?!

Side track, you still got that generator? We may have a deal.

Yes.
PM me and we can sort out something - let you check it out first.

I'll try to start it over the weekend - it hasn't been used in about 4 months.

I find the best time to waxoil is when it has rained for a few days, then dried up. I'll be doing mine if Spring ever turns up.

I would remove those wheel arch liners too...it's a haven for corrosion!

If you do find any signs of rust, remove it back to metal then treat it, otherwise the waxoil will just seal it in. Wire brushes (various sizes) will come in handy for removing flaky crap attached to the underside too.
