This could also be called “Jobs to do in Coronavirus lockdown”! Or “How to protect your car”. A recent job I did making my Freelander 1 last longer and give less hassle on future MOT tests by protecting it from rust. Well worth doing if you plan on keeping this car for a few years. Waxoyling the underneath where rust shows or is starting, fixing mud traps and where rust on the sill starts, removing rust from brake drums and discs and protecting brake pipes is shown in this video.
It’s best to remove the wheel arch liners front and back and remove the rear wheel arch (front part of it) for best access. Nothing too hard.

Waxoyl is cheapest on eBay UK: ebay.to/3bF0d5d
Or ebay USA: ebay.to/2LRcdbp

It is in various forms. Personally I use the 5l refill cans and refill by 1 litre can that I use with an underbody Shultz coating gun (air line powered), but you can get aerosol cans of it as well.

See my other video on waxoyling for a few tips and how to’s - youtu.be/94duWkqHMyQ

The Waxoyl and tools are also on Amazon UK: amzn.to/2zwbSp1
It doesn’t appear on Amazon USA but you might find similar stuff: amzn.to/3aBD16E

Also see the above links for the airline spray gun for Waxoyl/Shultz if you are using an airline, otherwise use the aerosol Waxoyl cans.
