I personally think some products are better suited for different applications. Such as, I like a thinner product to creep in door bottoms, rockers etc. The thicker waxes are ok inside frame rails, in cavities up higher where salt spray, water cannot get into, etc. Just my opinion.

I sell and use both Transtar 4423 & Carworx 126.061, Those both work well at around $22 per can, The Carworx is thinner so it creeps more as well as drips on the floor more if you go too heavy. I generally give all my areas a coating until I see it drip on the floor, Then I coat it again after a few hours. A stiff wand is the best way to be sure it gets where you want it. The Carworx comes with a rolled up wand that tends to roll back up while using inside the panel. 3M makes a good one but it's over $35 most places
hmm. Any other suggestions for heater channels? Its an area prone to rust from temp fluctuation and condensation.
Is it on a rotisserie? I poured epoxy in my doors then rolled them around until epoxy oozed everywhere.
That's an idea. I think i will push a borescope in there and see what things actually look like first.
Epoxy, if that gets over 400 degs it won't matter what happens to the epoxy.

Getting it inside a closed tube is the problem though.
I like to take the doors off and tape all the openings except one, which is for pouring epoxy in. Reducing is better, but on this tail gate I used a quart of full strength SPI epoxy and just rolled it around in every angle. It gets in behind everything, seals the seam, and its all thats needed.

Did it take a whole quart of epoxy doing that way? Or did you pour out the excess?
I would like to do my doors with that method but have no idea how much it would take.

im just figuring out your a vendor....im slow lol. you have a website? there are always odds and ends we need that Barry dont carry.
I don't remember just how much, but there was some left over using full strength. You have to have a fair amount left over in order to get full coverage.

Heater channels on that run up the sides of the bug front to rear. Without a wand to snake in there inst a real good way to coat, unless you can roll the whole body around, which would require a rotisserie and be done before paint. They are the section where the red flow arrows are and they are welded to the body as part of the rigid structure

No website, I deal mainly with my local customers (SW Wisconsin area) I am a one man operation and deliver all my own parts and supplies. I can ship items if you have no local source, but am not looking to get into that as a regular thing. I am busy enough now as it is. I stock most of the same things as Keystone (hoods, fenders, lights, bumpers ect.) as well as Key Parts rust repair panels, and a wide range of paint supplies (SPI, 3M, SEM, Evercoat, SATA ect.) Oh, and I also have thousands of boxes of AuVeCo fasteners in stock.
