Didnt take long, didnt get to messy, used about 7 litres, not perfect but will do for this year and I can give it another go next autumn.

Used the cheap tetrosyl stuff 38 quid for 10 litres from ebay, mixed with about 5/10 percent new engine oil.

Extra browny points if you can guess the year of the other two cars?

Did you use the Tetrosyl stuff or proper whacksoil?

Iirc it doesnt actually burn or melt off, it sort of bakes onto the exhaust and stays there for years.

Tetrosyl, I gave up on waxoyl years ago as it was getting to dear and still needed annual top ups. as does the tetrosyl but its half the price.
I think the waxoyl and morris ankor wax are both roughly 40 quid for 5 litres, I really liked the morris ankor wax, but they changed something and it was then a different colour and didnt seem as good.
