OK. What I do know is Paraffin wax does not mix with Cosmoline wax at all. I found that out the hard way.
Cavity wax spraying?

What do you guys think about this compressor

3/8 is fine.
Late to this thread so someone might have already mentioned it...
It doesn't matter how small your air compressor is, only that it has a tank and can build enough PSI.
It just goes a LOT slower, because you have to keep stopping to wait for it to build pressure up again. I'd buy a larger compressor for multiple air tools, but just to spray wax, I'd try what you have.

Ordered the 5/16 hose, it was cheaper than the 1/4 hose and comes with the quick connects. The 3/8 hose was more expensive and doesnt have quick connects which needs to be purchased as extras
Hopefully the 5/16 hose is sufficient. Got it in 10m length

When I had my truck sprayed with NH Coatings it would creep half way up the tailgate over the next few months.
Compressor arrived today, got the 50L 3hp 2.2kw one. Put the wheels on and gave it a quick test and it's working fine, just waiting for the air hose and wax injection gun to arrive now
This compressor cost me £165 delivered. So around 200usd.

I didn't realise you were in the UK too!
Do yourself a favour and get yourself Bilt Hamber Dynax S50 for the cavities and Bilt Hamber Dynax UC or UB for the underside. I've tried all sorts over the years and nothing comes close to the Dynax range!
Already bought £85 worth of noxudol so got to make use of it.
Will test this out then when all other parts arrive then store in the shed till warmer weather is upon us.
Can't even change a tyre in this cold weather
Save some money and DYI with Great Stuff foam. Save on TP and eventually…..Food!
I used a converted painters pot- with a 20ft hose very long legs 
Get the dynax spray cans. Love them. Only spray where it can sit forever. Impossible to clean and never dries

Finally got round to doing the waxing today. Ran into an issue, the cavity wax probe doesn't work. The 90 degree lance works fine and gun sprays fine without any attachments but I tried different pressure settings too and still didn't get the cavity probe to work it just pushes out air and no product.
Had it at 100psi too so not sure it's a pressure issue.
Maybe product needs to be thinner? It was already pouring freely like a thick gravy so just don't get why the 90 degree wand works fine but the cavity 360 doesn't do jack other than spit out a few blobs of the wax here and there.
Not sure if the wax needs to be thinner or maybe heated up for the cavity probe to work, will test with water first to see if it is a issue with it being too thick.
