Rust proofing

[auto_eng]

Anyone have any thoughts as to what is the best way to rust proof a chassis before a big summer of beach work?

Some say go with one that doesn't dry completely and stays tarry (if that's a word). Other say these allow the moisture to penetrate and go with something that dry hard.

Thoughts/prior experience?

good ol fisholene seems to work.
Stinks for a few days though.

don't use the fish oil from supercheap, even the deodorised stuff. my mate did it on his lux and the smell NEVER went away, was a shocka

You can buy a product called cavity wax - K & H ARP (anti rust preventative) this stuff is mildly solvent based, sets firm like a wax coating, but can be dislodged if scraped. perfect for coating large flat surfaces, needs very little prep. Excellent for coating the inside of doors, chassis rails etc. Will not bleed into cracks as well as fish oil, I usually treat with the cavity wax first, wait a week or so to cure, then treat with fish oil - the oil will seep into the cracks for total sealing. You can apply the wax with a regular garden spray pack, or for accurate applications use a large syringe with a ground down needle fitted. You can shoot the fluid quite a way into blind panels this way, via small holes. You get used to the smell...

Fisholine and Tectol!!!!!

The Fisholine is the preventive and the tectol makes it set (it is also a Preventive). This works really well but it does remain sticky and doesn't look real flash after a while (dirt and shiat sticks to it) BUT it WORKS!!!

Make sure you by GOOD deoderised Fisholine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, to apply it use a Compressor and buy one of those long pointy flexy nozzle's. If you don't have a compressor hire one for a day, about $40.00 and it will do a awesome job!
