Abstract: In a rust preventing wax treatment method which is applicable to automobile bodies already provided with a finish coat of paint, use is made of a wax which possesses not only thixotropy but also such a temperature-sensitive property that the viscosity of the wax decreases when heated and increases again when cooled near to room temperature. In the wax treatment method the wax and/or the article to be treated with the wax is heated and the wax, which is kept under action of a mechanical force to utilize its thixotropy, is applied to desired surfaces of the article. After that the waxed article is cooled near to room temperature. By this method the wax exhibits a very low viscosity when applied to the article and therefore can penetrate even into narrow spaces, and the applied wax soon solidifies as the waxed article is cooled. Therefore, a wax coating film of a sufficient thickness can be formed without suffering from dripping of the applied wax.
