Dear friends,

		thanks for your precious suggestions.
They were very useful and appreciated.

I'll do an experiment.

I have a 1974 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super, and I'll try Dinitrol.
On the p6 I'll try Waxoil.
I'll look fro Waxoyl here in Italy, and I'll let you know.

		Best regards, Gianluca.

Agree! I brought back some Waxoyl from UK, and got more in USA. The sprayer requires a fine hand technique, and you need to heat the can, and/or dilute with gasoline, etc. Would highly recommend.
