Our treatment centres
With a treatment centre just north of Newcastle upon Tyne in the pretty market town of Morpeth, our satellite treatment centre in Barnsley, South Yorkshire and our mobile service, we can now cover the whole of the North of England down to the Midlands and up into the Scottish Borders.
The Waxworks are a small team of classic car restorers with many years of experience working with classic and specialist cars. As professional restorers we have spent countless hours carefully repairing the damage that rust creates and as a result we have gained an understanding in the causes and prevention of corrosion.
We firmly believe that Waxoyl- the genuine original product made just up the road in Prudhoe Northumberland (beware of so called ‘Swiss Waxoyl’ that has suddenly appeared on the market!) is still the most effective anticorrosion treatment available, it is still miles ahead of the opposition and that’s why we have always used it on our own cherished classics.
A great product is only half the battle though. It will do little if not properly applied, that’s why the person who treats your vehicle is as important as the product itself. A small company like ours survives on reputation-that’s why we always provide the best possible solution to your needs.
At The Waxworks we treat every vehicle as one of our own and we only treat one per day to ensure that it is done right- first time and to the highest possible standard!. We also limit the number of treatments to just 3 or 4 a week, this is why there is no VAT to pay for our services. We are proud to be a small company and don’t want to become a target obsessed production line churning out 3 treatments a day, other rust proofing companies might want to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on equipment and advertising to help them achieve this, but it doesn’t benefit you the customer!
We enjoy what we do, take great pride in our work and enjoy getting to know our customers. A regular client of ours recently said ‘Find a job you love and you shall never work again!’ We are truly passionate about the preservation of the cars we love, this is why we will continue to keep our company small, friendly and most importantly to you- affordable!.
Although our focus remains on privately owned specialist, collectors, motorhomes and 4X4 vehicles we have rustproofed a wide range of vehicles for a number of prestigious organizations including HM Coast guard, The Highways Agency and for several main franchised dealers in the North of England and Southern Scotland.
The Procedure
  
Your vehicle is first of all inspected and an assessment is made whilst you are present, we will talk you through the process involved and answer any questions you have. You then go off and enjoy yourself for the day while we get on with the dirty stuff! Your vehicle is firstly cleaned. A 1500psi pressure washer is used to get your vehicle spotlessly clean, all loose rust and under-seal will also be removed during this process.
Your vehicle is now dried thoroughly before being sprayed with a combination of driers and corrosion inhibiters. Interior trim including door cards, sill covers etc. are then removed to gain access to all box sections and internal structures. Remaining interior trim, Braking and electrical systems are also carefully covered. We try to get to all box sections without resorting to drilling, however some areas are impossible to reach, so as a last resort we will try to drill in an inconspicuous area, on 99% of vehicles this is not necessary, we will always consult you before this is done.
Only after a further inspection to ensure your vehicle is completely dry, will we apply the waxoyl to your vehicle. We use black Waxoyl underneath as this gives a pleasing appearance but we can treat your vehicle with a clear Waxoyl if you prefer. All boxes and internal structures are coated, an average car will receive around 15 litres of wax, larger vehicles and 4x4s will receive as much as 25 litres. The whole process from start to finish takes between 5 and 8 hours dependent on the amount of preparation required
Your car is then left to dry before having trim, door cards etc. refitted. All excess wax is then removed from the coach work.
On your return the car will be inspected again and signed off.

 The Benefits
You will now be able to rest assured in the knowledge that your car has been properly protected, whether you rest your vehicle over the winter or use it all year round. For the cost of a decent set of tyres you have taken an effective step towards its long term preservation. Should you decide to part with your vehicle, one thing determines its value more than any other factor- its condition, resale value as a result will be higher on a properly protected vehicle than one left to the elements, in most cases as much as 30% higher!. Maintenance costs will be lower and you should get an easier ride come the dreaded MOT, the vehicle will also be safer -no more dangerously corroded brake and fuel pipes. The welder and grinder can be put away at the back of your garage and you can spend those cold winter nights at home - inside!
