From another classic car forum http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=539896
"Just a reminder, as I am sure most of you already do this, but every 6 months or so I unbolt the plastic front underwing trims and inspect the wing cavitys for mud and road debris. Yesterday I did this on the near and offsides and the ammount of mud in the nearside wings and plastic trim was quite shocking. I spent a good hour cleaning out all the crud with brushes and airlines etc, then retreating it all with waxoyl (haven't got any Dynax S50 yet but I have ordered some to arrive this week)
I was amazed at how much crud was in there and I dont even drive mine regualrly (400 miles done since Jan 1st)
I would say to everyone, and all you daily drivers especially, that you should do this job every Spring and Autumn at the least !! "
I think it is better on the Minor to hose the mud out regularly and waxoyl. Don't hide the problems!
not such a great idea to fit under wing plastic covers...

...and while you're at it, unscrew the gearbox cover and waxoil the insides of the chassis legs!

That is a very good idea! I waxoyled the chassis legs on my traveller 13 years ago and despite the car living outside within 1/2 mile of the sea the chassis legs are still sound.
