OSF Winter Protection

[Dan492]

Ok then, quick question really.

 

What are you guys doing with your beloved OSF's over the winter months?

 

Mine is staying on the road throughout and sadly I have no garage to keep it in as apparently the MK2 Escort is top priority....who'd have guessed haha.

 

So, what products would you recommend to keep my Fiesta alive? It is getting a full respray next week so obviously want it looking its best throughout!

 

Cheers!

Time to bust out the waxoil and good old underseal.

 

Get the waxoil into all the gaps, holes and cavitiies. Underseal the sills, arches, pans and chassis rails.

 

Its nastey stuff but it works, hard to remove but easier to deal with then rust!

 

I would also make sure your anti freeze is good and stick a new battery on for good measure.

 

Thoughout the winter keep washing it to remove the road salt.

Cheers pal, never dealt with Waxoyl or the likes before (my first car was a Sh!troen that I couldn't have cared less about). Why is it nasty stuff also how much needed to cover a MK1 Fiesta?
