No fishy smell, easier to apply, doesn't melt in the sun, works better and lasts longer :wink:


So, just what is cavity wax?.... do you spray it on like fishoilene? or is it more like hair gel :shock: sounds like it could be messy to apply :?

Your exhaust can get a lot warmer than 100deg I would of thought they get hotter than 100deg too.... but here it is in black and white direct from the manufacturer website; http://www.wattyl.co.nz/new%20site/Architects%20CD/Technical_Data_Sheets/WA/WA102.pdf I guess I could always avoid my exhaust ...

Rust Proofing Ma Belly!

I'd like to do a bit of rust proofing to the underside of my truck, i've heard that Fishoilene works well to prevent rust, apparantly you can even drive in salt water on a regular basis and still have no problems.... but I also heard that if you use it your vehicle tends to smell like fish Has ...

That photo of the plugs is not actually that well repesented. I'll try and get another. It is not at all oily. hard to make an accurate assessment based on the photo, but if it's not oily and is indeed sooty and black... it is most likely that that cylinder is running rich (too much fuel ...
