This may be an odd question, but can you waxoyl too much?

Applied 2.5l of the wonderful stuff to the underside of the van on Saturday using the applicator, but am tempted to buy another 2.5l and spray it again in a month or so to make sure everything's covered. Does anyone think this would do any harm?

Wouldn't do any harm but may be a waste of time and money.
Save it and have another go next year.
Doesn't hurt to do it annually as it helps you keep your eye on everything that's going on down there.

You won't be able to reach half of what really needs doing, though - it's not just coating the surfaces you can see, but inside all the box sections and hidden bits. That's where the good's really done.

I'm just worried that my spraying might have been more generous in some areas than others. I didn't realise quite how quickly 2.5l would go. I managed to get to every part of the underside but probably not with equal coverage in all areas.

Did you use a ramp? Does it go everywhere? I have a tin of waxoyl and a pump I bought from mole valley farmers a couple of years back but am scared of getting on with it!

Thinking about Waxoyling again before the summer. Last done in September, is it worth doing it again or should I wait till a full year's passed?
