I've always used waxoyl, some people say its rubbish but if the car isn't too bad to start with i think it does a good enough job for a year, especially on floor pan. But my problem is when something is badly rusted like an axle or subframe then within a couple of weeks its gone. I'm guessing these parts are probably more exposed too.
I power hose it and wire brush it first but if its heavily scaled I think the waxoyl doesn't penetrate into it.
Something like a diff cover for example and you can't start chapping with a screwdriver or in around subframe were you cant get tools in properly.
Some people have said a mixture of oil and diesel penetrates it better but I don't think it would stay on for long either.
Is lanoguard or bilt hamber or dinotrol or fluid film or any others actually any better for this or just a gimmick? Has anybody coated a rusted pick up chassis and came back a year later and said thats done a good job.
The lanoguard looks easy to apply with no washing guns etc and you don't have to do it all at once and easy to touch up but its twice the price of waxoyl.
I use a body shutz gun but maybe its coming out to fast. I just watched someone on youtube their and their gun had a hose on it but it was coming out really slow with loads of air which would have took ages but I'd say it was blowing it deeper into the rust and cracks etc rather than mine is a quick whoosh over it and more applied.
Any tests on youtube is done on clean metal which is not like trying to attach to a rusty surface and I think most people using these products are trying to make a rusty vehicle last longer rather than putting on new cars.
And lastly where do yous normally buy it at best value?
