Door Rust Prevention and Lubrication

Featured Replies

I have been spraying cosmoline and woolwax on every surface I can access while I have my drivetrain removed and interior torn apart. 

The inside of my doors appears to be very rust free, even towards the bottom. Being in the rust belt, I'd like to get ahead of the rust and begin rust prevention asap. 

My idea was to use a 360 wand to spray woolwax into the doors with the entire power window mechanism in place. 

Hopefully this will do me two things, one is obviously to prevent corrosion. The second is that woolwax is also a lubricant which, in theory, means it'll get into the window mechanism and lubricate it. My windows are all slow, they work but don't intend to reinstall my A.C. components so having operating windows is a must.

I want to avoid removing the glass, as according to the FSM, I also need to remove weatherstripping and I'd like to avoid breaking anything (i.e weatherstripping, glass, plastic clips, etc). 

Any thoughts on this? Has anyone done this before? (Spraying woolwax without removing anything from the door panel)

Thanks :]

I just used a 3m cavity spray yesterday on the inside of my quarter panels. 

I bought tube assembly from Amazon or  eBay with 360° first pattern.. Worked good and filled wheel well areas with one can.
