Team Valley - thank you, very handy to know. I had mine waxoiled after import 7 years ago and really need to get it all stripped off and redone. I’d been planning on Dinatrol rather than waxoyl.

The pit is shallow i still on my knees but it does help rather than lying on my back lol

Lovely special edition, well done on your recent purchase. Have you sprayed the sills and chassis rails. I did this job last winter on my back!

I use Lanoguard for this reason it protects can do every year but you can see if an area needs attention ![]()
I went with the proper method of restoration.
Going to start my second car soon and do it myself this time
Excellent ![]()

I use Lanoguard find it great for Mx5 I have used Dinitrol and waxoyl before I prefer this product kit costs £80
@Richy_Mc @PaleRider , Wait till you lads get a few more decades down the line then you will really start to get the full meaning of ‘knackered’…!
Mate I already feel 100 so I’m not looking forward to the next few decades…if I’m lucky like ![]()

HI, Ive just picked my NC 3.5. 10 plate with 51k miles. I saw your post and have contacted Stagshaw for an inspection. In the meantime, I’m curious as to how they treated the cavities, If, indeed they did.

We had a shallowish pit in my old dad’s garage but made up a long pair of wooden ramps, not a very steep angle, which made a huge difference. Good if you have the headroom in the building. Sadly no garage these days…
