Ensure that cavity wax is applied after the final paint process and before refitting any trim components. 
 
During application ensure that the wax covers all flanges and seam areas and that it is adequately applied to all repaired 
areas of both new and existing panels. 
 
It should be noted that new panel assemblies and complete body shells are supplied without wax injection treatment. 
Ensure that such treatment is carried out after repairs. 
 
Effective cavity wax protection is vital. Always observe the following points: 
 

Complete all paint refinish operations before wax application.  
Check the spray pattern of injection equipment.  
Mask all areas not to be waxed  
Remove body fixings, such as seat belt retractors, if contamination is at all likely.  
Move door glasses to fully closed position before treating door interiors.  
Treat body areas normally covered by trim before refitting items.  
Check that body and door drain holes are clear after the protective wax has dried.  
Keep all equipment clean, especially wax injection nozzles
