What is Woolwax®
Rustproofing and
Undercoating?
Woolwax® is a lanolin (wool-wax) based, solvent free corrosion preventive designed for use on any known metal. Woolwax® has a thixotropic viscosity that allows for a thick and drip free coating. Woolwax® leaves a soft, grease-like self-healing film that can be applied by brush or spray applicator gun. Woolwax® will not dry out and will penetrate metals to the base, providing corrosion protection in highly corrosive atmospheres like those found in industrial or environmental settings. Woolwax® has proven to be an exceptional vehicle undercoating product.
Applied annually to the vehicle undercarriage, frame, doors, etc., Woolwax® will provide excellent rust protection for any vehicle. Because Woolwax® is solvent free, there is no evaporation process. Woolwax® coating in protected areas such as doors, frame rails, rocker panels, etc. will provide protection indefinitely (years). The exposed area of the vehicle undercarriage is an annual maintenance application. A Woolwax® treatment in the fall is generally adequate to get the vehicle undercarriage through the winter/salt season. Woolwax® is not a rust remover or converter, however Woolwax® can be applied over existing surface rust. Woolwax® will form a heavy film and prevent moisture and oxygen from reaching the existing rust. Thereby stopping it on contact. Heavy bubbling or flaking rust should be wire brushed before applying Woolwax®.
"Can Woolwax® be applied over existing rust? My vehicle is older and already rusted."
Woolwax® can be applied over any existing surface rust. Woolwax® will stop the
rust from progressing on contact by creating a film barrier that will prevent moisture and oxygen from getting to the base metal. Woolwax® is not a rust converter or remover. Any heavy bubbling or flaking rust should be brushed off before applying Woolwax®. It is never too late to treat your vehicle with Woolwax®. It may be rusted, but you can do a great deal to stop the rust from progressing with a good treatment of Woolwax® at the beginning of each snow/ice season.
Does Woolwax® dry or stay wet?
Woolwax® does not dry. When applied Woolwax® will create a wet gel-like barrier that moisture and oxygen cannot penetrate. Without moisture and oxygen there can be no oxidation. because Woolwax® is non-drying, it is always active and migrating into the inaccessible areas of the doors, seams and folds of the sheet metal, and all the other difficult to reach areas. Woolwax® is very thick and will not wash off easily. An annual application will easily protect your vehicle through the snow/ice/salt season. In the enclosed areas, (doors, frame rails, rockers, etc.) the Woolwax® will provide protection indefinitely (years). It is only the exposed areas of the undercarriage that should be coated annually with Woolwax®.
How often does my vehicle need to be undercoated?
Woolwax® is an annual maintenance application. A Woolwax® treatment will easily provide protection through even the harshest of winter conditions. Woolwax® is extremely resistant to wash-off. Woolwax® contains no solvents, so there is no evaporation process. In the protected enclosed areas (doors, frame rails, etc.) a single treatment will provide protection for an indefinite period of time (years). The exposed area of the undercarriage should be re-treated annually. There is no need to remove or power wash the existing Woolwax®. Simply give it
a rinse with a garden hose to clean it up a bit, and apply a fresh coat right over the existing Woolwax®. Many of our Undercoaters suggest treating vehicles in the warmer weather so that the Woolwax® creeps and migrates into all the inaccessible areas.
