The one i was on about is like a tin of tar, that just gets splatted all under the car (wear gloves)

Its the black one i'm planning to use, will neaten the underside/arches up no end

How long does Waxoyl tend to last?

Does it need re-applying every year or two? Or does it last much better than that?

Will gently pressure wash/hose the underside whilst cleaning the car to get the salt and crap off, how will this affect the life span?

Totally depends on how well you prepare the surface. I think you normally re-coat waxoil every 12-18 months though mate

Ok cheers mate, will the a wire brush (hand and drill attachment) under there to remove all the muck and whatever else is stuck under there

Yeah mate, give it a good wash off first, then a good wire brushing, wash again to remove any loose crap, throughly dry and then bang the waxoil on.

Or just be lazy like me and find a good place to have it done lol

I'll wash/wirebrush it then leave it in the garage to dry, then motivate myself to start painting/slapping it on.
