Managing Director – Bridge Classic Cars
Years and years of muddy water, dirt and grit flying about underneath takes it’s toll on the underside of your vehicle.
The underneath is often taken for granted and forgotten about. We like to polish up the shiny bits, the areas that people see but how often do you think to clean the underneath?
Here’s a wonderful example of 2002 Mercedes ML 4×4. Before recently changing hands this beauty was owned from new by one careful, lady owner. She’s covered just 2,000 miles per year, a total of 30,000 miles so far in her lifetime.
She’s been brought into us at Bridge Classic Cars to be waxoyl’d underneath. This process protects the underside of your vehicle from the british weather, adding a protective layer that resists the everyday grit and grime from the roads.
When wax oiling a vehicle it is best to remove the arches and any components that are easily removable, this is not essential but as we say ‘if you do a job, do a job right’. Water can get behind the arches quite easily so we add a layer of wax oil behind there also.
Here we are on day one of wax oiling the Mercedes, we have used a clear wax oil for this treatment; various colours are available and it is all down to choice and preference.
All done and ready to go home to Leiston.
