Does the basic package include panel removal?+
Standard NHOU includes wand application to cavities, crevices, and behind panels where access allows, with shields and liners installed. Add applicable panel removal and reinstallation from $100 extra for better visibility, direct application, and a coverage check. Full Access (lanolin) and Waxoyl include applicable removal.
Why does Full Access cost more than NHOU?+
Full Access includes applicable panel removal, application behind the covers, and reassembly. It also uses a different coating — lanolin — with a different maintenance schedule. You can choose NHOU with optional panel removal if you prefer its oil-based coating and rodent deterrent.
Is the panel-removal option always $100?+
It starts at $100 extra with NHOU. The final price depends on the applicable panels, access, and additional work needed. We confirm the scope, price, and any replacement-clip costs before starting. Removal and reinstallation are already included with Full Access (lanolin) and Waxoyl for applicable covers.
Will you remove every panel on my vehicle?+
Full Access means applicable underbody shields and fender liners for the rustproofing service. It does not mean dismantling every component. We confirm the scope for your vehicle, including any unusual access requirements, before work begins.
What if my vehicle already has rust?+
Tell us before choosing a service. We need to assess its condition and any preparation or repair needs. A coating does not repair damaged metal. Waxoyl is intended for suitable new and near-new vehicles; the shop can discuss renewable options for a vehicle already on the road.
Is Waxoyl a “never think about it again” treatment?+
No. It is a long-term system with annual inspections and touch-ups as needed. The condition of the vehicle, its use, and ongoing care all matter. We’ll explain the maintenance expectations for your service.
Is the price based only on vehicle size?+
The listed prices are a guide by size. Underbody construction, condition, and unusual access or preparation needs can affect the work. The shop confirms the exact price before proceeding.
Woolwax, Fluid Film or Surface Shield — which do you use?+
All three are lanolin (wool-grease) coatings, and our Full Access service uses whichever premium lanolin product we have in stock — Woolwax, Fluid Film or Surface Shield. They behave the same way underneath: the coating stays soft, keeps creeping into seams, self-heals when it is scraped, and resists washing off. If you have a preference, tell us when you book and we will let you know what is on the shelf.
Can I get it in black?+
Yes. Lanolin coatings come in clear and black. Black blends into a dark underbody and makes coverage easy to see; clear keeps the metal visible. Choose the finish when you book your Full Access service.
Can I leave the vehicle with you?+
Yes—discuss drop-off when booking. Standard NHOU typically takes 45–60 minutes; optional panel removal adds time depending on the vehicle. Full Access (lanolin) typically takes 2–3 hours, and Waxoyl 3–5 hours. Ask about complimentary loaner vehicles and availability if you need to keep moving.
