I sure this has been asked before,but I know products change and new ones become available.
I don't want to use my rust free fresh import,on our roads until I've filled it up with waxoil/dinitrol/????
What is the current best jollop for treating ?

Krust on exposed metal.

I'm thinking what to use inside the doors and sill and box sections,but also on exposed areas like floors arches ect.
Waxoil is my first thought , but wondered if any thing was considered better ?

When you spray inside doors, rear qtrs etc, make sure you don't block factory drain holes

I like the Dinitrol range of products. Not saying they are any better. But they do just the right product for every aspect of the job.

A dry warm garage and a car with a plastic body is even better.

That can be hard to do, just use it in the dry also. Never in the wet/salt.

Plan well ahead when using this stuff, takes ages to warm up in water. mix with a bit of white spirit also to thin.

Ive recoated the factory undercoat on my Polara using waxoil spraycans. Warm them up in warm water for 5 mins or so and away you go. Six cans did my car and Ive just used it to do the inside of the new repair sections on the Fury. DONT get it from Halfords as they charge £8 a can. Can be had for half that!! Oh, and if you dont use a whole can, throw the spray nozzles in some thinners to keep them clean for next time.
Cheers Steve

And the un seen tin worm gobbling up the inner frame.
I dont have as bad a rust issue as alot of you might have so it is interesting to see what people use

My car came from the Nevada valleys and later Arizona, so the weather has been kind to it.I want to keep it that way.
Unfortunately we keep throwing salt all over the roads, I noticed the local council gritter trucks out a couple of nights ago.
I must get it filled up with something before I get it on the road.
