After Your Service

Congratulations! You've defended an expensive asset from corrosion and rust.

What material did I get?

You received the best, most washout-resistant Lanolin available - WoolWax! Lanolin is sheep's wool oil. It is non-toxic, non-flammable and environmentally friendly. WoolWax does not drip and has minimal scent that goes away quickly.

When can I drive my vehicle?

Since Lanolin never fully dries, you can drive your vehicle now. If it is raining, it can help to wait 6-10 hours for the Lanolin to stiffen up a bit. If it's not raining, driving it is good - road dust/debris actually starts to coat and coagulate with the material, adding an additional protective layer. Dusty/dirt roads are your friend in these first days!

Your first time driving

Any excess on your engine block or exhaust will smoke off, and should be mostly smoked off in the 10 minutes we allowed your vehicle to run upon completion. But you may notice a bit more the first time you drive. Any scent will fade away after a couple of drives.

How do I care for the treatment?

We recommend against getting the undercarriage washed at tunnel-car washes. Most basic washes do not include this, or they can turn it off. The pressure from the jets can start to remove Lanolin - it's not necessarily the water. It can be genly rinsed with a garden hose if you desire, but there's no need to wash the Lanolin coating.

How long does this last?

WoolWax is thick and resists washout very well. Because it does not dry, it is self-healing - meaning if road debris scrapes it, the product will "gel over" and repair itself. It can last years. There is a helpful, cumulative effect when you have your 2nd, 3rd and additional coatings done. The exposed areas of your undercarriage should be undercoated every 12 to 24 months depending on your goals for the vehicle, and your use of the vehicle. But even having your vehicle undercoated just ONE time provides very meaningful protection... you may buy yourself that extra few years you needed!
