Cavity Waxing on a 911

Post by Barry »

For what it's worth, I had reason to come up with a rough guide to preserving a 911. I've put a copy here, if it's of interest:

Barry, very helpful. Many thanks! Who is a good source for the cavity wax gun? Machine Mart don't do them. I've been looking for some time (already have a schutz gun).

Just after posting the thread I Googled 'Cavity Wax Gun' and got a few come up: the one that the link on my added comment goes to is the same as the one I used for my original 911.

I noticed that 3M do a very similar one. The Shultz guns are much more widely available, but as explained, whilst they more or less do the job, they are a little bulky to get right into the tighter places: exactly where rust tends to start.

Seems strange that the true waxing guns are so hard to find: you'd have thought that just about anywhere connected with restoration would stock them (e.g. Frosts etc), but time and again, all you can find is another Shultz gun with the add-on lance :roll: .

Great, thanks! Yes, surprisingly hard to find these applicator guns.
