I've looked at waxoyl cans and spray guns today and saw two models:
- the "jumbo" squeeze gun
- the "high pressure" gun that is operated by pumping air into the can

Has anybody tried them? Which one works best?

I didn;t get on very well with either- both hard to use. The best thing you can do is buy/borrow a small compressor and use a schultz gun with the nozzle and also the long entenstion probe for the cavities. Makes waxoyling SO much easier and quicker.

I've tried the pressure one with reasonably good results. However, you MUST keep the container and supply tube warm to stop the wax from solidifying before it gets to the nozzle. It's best to keep the container in a bucket of hot water, but unless the weather is really warm you will still have problems with it thickening in the pipe.
Also the last 30cm or so of the nozzle end is not flexible so getting inside door panels and chassis legs etc is a bit difficult.

Agree with the use of Schultz gun, did you make up the extension or buy one?

Does the Schultz gun come with its own can? Can you attach it to the Wawoyl can?

I got a can of the thinner Dinitrol cavity wax that the shultz gun screws into. When all cavities were done and container empty-Then warmed the waxoyl and poured it into the empty container, screwed back into the gun and did the underside with that.

If the wax is too thick yo go through the gun/flexi, just dilute with white spirit,this will evaporate leaving a coat of wax in places thicker wax will not reach.Better still warm wax 10% white spirit, works just great!
I'd go with Chickenjohn's method, just making sure that the nozzle at the end of the flexi tube is alteast a 3-5 way sprayer.

Dont' buy a jumbo squeeze gun! They are worse than useless and you get covered in waxoyl and extremely bad tempered. Within 15 minutes mine got thrown in the bin. Compressor and spray gun definately the way to go.

AGREED, used both types of Waxoyl guns and they are pretty useless,
you might get away with the first use but from there on they spell trouble. The round can type persists in blowing pressure through the screw thread in the tin for me and the shultz gun is the way to go. Warm the Waxoyl as described and preferably stand the car in the blazing sun for hours before you apply it.

i thought the gun thingys were called "schutz" guns not "schultz" guns?

So did they

thanks Big Man! thought my brain had let go of yet another fact

So you need a compressor to use this gun? Would this do the job?

I've seen it also spelt with an l or without.

Odd. I wonder it 'Schu(l)tz is the type, rather than the make of the tool?

Now that's we've sorted the spelling what about the compressor ?

OK - i'd say that it pushes WAY to little air to be much use, sorry

How much air displacement would be needed?

Get to Aldi's and pick up one of their £60 compressors, I did and it'll push my schultz gun nicely.

You don;t need a big compressor for this job as the S"£$%tz (whatever spelling you prefer) gun has quite a big nozzle.

But just try using the hand pump and then the compressor and gun and see how much easier it is. Took me 2 hours with the proper kit versus a whole weekend struggling with the hand pumped thing.
