Yes please part two. Good informative video. The plastic sheet inside the door is the factory sheet. It is held at the top by the door top roll trim. Always a faff to get it back properly.
I would love to see a second rust proofing video. Most XJ I have owned had the thick plastic inside the doors, I think this was done at the factory, I do like the idea of adding a second layer of plastic on other side of frame too
Great video. If looking to buy a car it would be good to look for those plugs showing that someone had made the effort to take care of it. Never thought to look for those!
I lived for a long time near the beach in a very humid climate. I met a man who owned an immaculate old Peugeot and asked how he kept it rust free . He advised that once a year he would spray all double panels with a mixture of old engine oil and diesel, and it worked.Give it a try!
It would be good to see how you do the rust proofing under the car. I have some spots that need to be treated again. Looks like under the floor right behind the front wheels get a good beating over the years..
Adam . Anything you do is always entertaining and informative. Your fortunate that the previous owner had already beaten you to the wax oiling . That door curtain is original however , not too many survived the rigours of regulator/ door lock replacement at dealerships ! Thanks.
I use chainsaw oil,,or even old engine oil or cheap sprayon grease... I have a project to drill some holes in the sills o my Rover 75 and spray chainsaw oil plus petrol mix... I hate to see rust !!!! regards
Thanks again for another great video. Especially the filming from inside the sill. However, I have two questions. What do you think of a more greasy type of wax e. g. the consistency of ketchup or so. Those are believed to have a longer life in industrial use e.g. on ships. And what do you think of applying the wax with compressed air and a cartridge you can buy ready to use. With those you can apply more wax to fill up corners and other tricky places. Thanks again and waiting for more videos like this one, Tobias, Germany
I would open the door as much as possible. There is a point in the middle of the front door, under the little window. All mk2 have problems there, xj somtimes. And I use grease for all mechanical parts, if the door is open.
Fluid Film is great stuff too. Hard to get a hold of here though. I will probably check how this looks every year but probably won’t need to apply every year. More like 2-5 years. It will be used a lot is we will see
Nice one - Yes, please do further rust proofing videos, particularly on the XJ-S if you can as I know it has a few oddball specific rust issues that crop up (behind headlight, on rear buttress, on the scuttle panel)
I would consider a 1" diameter hole so as to get the hose pipe on the vacuum cleaner in to the cavity and suck out any metal drilling bits from drilling the hole. Then put in the 1" rubber plug.
Hi Adam, another good one! Please do show more. I have to do all of this when I finally get back to my Mark 2 next year. One question, does the rust proof wax also convert any existing rust that is there? I don't believe it does in which case my thinking was to use a proprietary water-based rust converter first. It's applied in exactly the same way as the wax but my question is, can you use the cavity wax over the top of the rust converter? Any idea? Cheers, and once again, more please! Tony
Hello my friend!!!! You have an amazing channel and you help me a lot to work on my xj6 4.2 1972!! My fuel pumps died! Which fuel pump do you recommend at reasonable prices? Thank you so much
Adam, is that rubber bung in the back of the sill standard? I have one fitted in the same position on each side and I was wondering if it has had the same treatment as yours; currently the whole or most of the underside and wheel arches are covered with a thick black gunk which is start to come adrift in places.
Excellent video Adam! That sprayer on the end of the little hose is ingenious. I have never seen that before. Here in US we have a similar oil called Fluid Film which l apply before winter. There are no places here which do it professionally, one has to buy the cans and do it themselves.....or cross the border into Canada where there are plentiful shops which put the car on a hoist and spray the complete underside while also drilling into the doors and jambs. Very helpful video sir and l would certainly enjoy any future videos with the endoscope.
I’ve heard good things about fluid film. We have shops you can take your car to here for rust proofing. I’ve only heard to avoid shops that steam clean since it can leave a lot of moisture under the treatment which then makes it rust worse. I think the endoscope is going in a gas tank next
Way to go. That time you spent doing that, with little expense, will save your car and tons of expense down the road. I thank you, and I'm sure if it could, you car would too. What do you think of a water proof car cover? Do you think it traps moisture under the cover, since it doesn't breath? for a car outside in the winter I am not sure.
I don’t think that they work well. I feel that they just trap moisture. If I keep a car outside I try and keep it clean and well waxed. Also making sure there are no leaks. And to park it in the sun to dry out every now and then
Sorry I’m a day late work commitments 🙄 getting in the way 😂 Adam great video I don’t have time to do mine this year but I’ll definitely be doing it ASAP next year thanks to you 👍👍👍👍 I know mines been done in the past but more definitely won’t hurt the old girl thank you Adam 😄
NICE FOOTAGE. But: I strongly recommend not to use wax products on elder vehicles. Wax does not prevent rusted parts from further corrotion. Hot fat like Mike Sanders or Timemax is far better. There are old Waxoil plans available with all of the relevant areas to protect and all the extra holes to drill. And: XJ need desperately innerwheel mudwings to protect A Frame and Front.
Try deodorised fish oil that stops rust. Downside is that your car will be initually attractive to cats for a few weeks until it dries completely and has no longer a fishy odour.
Yes please part two.
Good informative video.
The plastic sheet inside the door is the factory sheet. It is held at the top by the door top roll trim. Always a faff to get it back properly.
Great idea for a video Adam, and yes to a video on rustproofing the rest of the car too. Good effort.
Thank you for watching!
I'll second that !
More rustproofing videos, especially from inside the cavities !
I would love to see a second rust proofing video.
Most XJ I have owned had the thick plastic inside the doors, I think this was done at the factory, I do like the idea of adding a second layer of plastic on other side of frame too
Ah cool, I’ve never seen it in the door before. I’m happy with how free of rust this car is so far
I learn something new every time I watch one of your vids. Brilliant!
I’m glad you enjoy them!
Great video. Here in Northeast US were big on bar chain oil thinned and sprayed. Mostly undercarriage.
Your cavity work is good to see
I will be spraying the undercarriage soon also. Try and keep it as rust free as I can
Great video. If looking to buy a car it would be good to look for those plugs showing that someone had made the effort to take care of it. Never thought to look for those!
Another great video. Going to the trouble of filming inside the sill was a great idea, showing how the wax works.
I wanted to show it a new way. Worked out better than I could imagine
I lived for a long time near the beach in a very humid climate. I met a man who owned an immaculate old Peugeot and asked how he kept it rust free . He advised that once a year he would spray all double panels with a mixture of old engine oil and diesel, and it worked.Give it a try!
Cool, it was really good to see inside the seals.
I find this a very satisfying and feel good factor job, I did the same with my 57 Chevy last year when I had it part for an interior trim refit.
It’s good piece of mind
Great video! I have heard about this concept for quite some time but have never seen something that describes the details.
It would be good to see how you do the rust proofing under the car. I have some spots that need to be treated again. Looks like under the floor right behind the front wheels get a good beating over the years..
Adam . Anything you do is always entertaining and informative. Your fortunate that the previous owner had already beaten you to the wax oiling . That door curtain is original however , not too many survived the rigours of regulator/ door lock replacement at dealerships ! Thanks.
This car does seem to be surprisingly free from rust. Paint or interior isn’t the best but it’s solid. Thanks for the curtain information!
I use chainsaw oil,,or even old engine oil or cheap sprayon grease... I have a project to drill some holes in the sills o my Rover 75 and spray chainsaw oil plus petrol mix... I hate to see rust !!!! regards
Chainsaw oil sounds good. I’ve heard to be careful with used oil since it may be acidic. Good luck with the Rover 75!
What wad the name of the product you used? Maybe I missed it... seems quite practical.
Thanks again for another great video. Especially the filming from inside the sill.

Yes please keep the rust proofing coming. All stuff I've never had to do before but need to do on my Series 1.
I’m hoping I can keep this car as rust free as possible even though it will be used a lot
Fluid Film ! I use it for years ! Very good results ! All five years I renew the film . It is transparent and run into tight corners by it self .
Fluid Film is great stuff too. Hard to get a hold
of here though. I will probably check how this looks every year but probably won’t need to apply every year. More like 2-5 years. It will be used a lot is we will see
very useful video. I would like to see more. I'm curious to see the inside of the old s-type cylinders
That’s a great idea! Thank you
Nice one - Yes, please do further rust proofing videos, particularly on the XJ-S if you can as I know it has a few oddball specific rust issues that crop up (behind headlight, on rear buttress, on the scuttle panel)
I can do that. Thanks for watching!
Hi, can we fill the sill with spray foam ?
Great video once again. Showing the rest of the rustproofing world be good.
I will! Thanks for watching
I would consider a 1" diameter hole so as to get the hose pipe on the vacuum cleaner in to the cavity and suck out any metal drilling bits from drilling the hole. Then put in the 1" rubber plug.
It didn’t make the film but i put a small magnet down there to get them up. That clip had no audio unfortunately

keep safe .
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching Victor!

Sorry Adam, one more question if I may. How often does this need to be re-done? Every year? Thanks,

Great video of something I need to do in the near future on my rover p6. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting video. I think waxing is essential. What kind of nozzles did you use?
The nozzle came with the kit. Most companies have their own nozzles
@@LivingWithAClassic Thank you. In the past I have used Waxoyl 120-4 but with only a short tube...
I’ve got garage envy
Thanks!
Sorry I’m a day late work commitments 🙄 getting in the way 😂 Adam great video I don’t have time to do mine this year but I’ll definitely be doing it ASAP next year thanks to you 👍👍👍👍 I know mines been done in the past but more definitely won’t hurt the old girl thank you Adam 😄
Don’t you just hate it when works gets in the way 😅
I’m doing my best to try and make mine survive winter too which I hope it will

Thanks Tony!
the plug is stock
Try deodorised fish oil that stops rust. Downside is that your car will be initually attractive to cats for a few weeks until it dries completely and has no longer a fishy odour.
Sounds pretty smelly but may be worth a try
@@LivingWithAClassic and remember that these same cats will prevent mice from eating your fuel lines so spray lots and lots.
