WoolWax™ is a lanolin based, solvent free corrosion inhibitor designed for use on any known metal, but most often used on the undercarriages of vehicles. Their lanolin is blended with other proprietary agents to provide long term corrosion protection against salt, liquid calcium chloride, brine, and all other ice control agents that are being used on our roadways.  WoolWax™ contains much more raw woolgrease (lanolin) than competitive products, making it thicker and much more resistant to wash off. It's unique properties provide a longer period of protection for exposed undercarriage areas. WoolWax™ leaves a soft, grease-like, self-healing film that doesn't dry out and will continue to penetrate metals to the base. WoolWax™ is not a rust remover or converter, however it can be applied over existing surface rust and will form a heavy film and prevent moisture and oxygen from reaching the existing rust, thereby stopping it on contact.

While driving habits may vary, Defender Undercoating recommends application every two years in order to maintain adequate protection.
