Waxoyl

any good ?

or is there something better for sealing inside arches etc.. ?

Terrific stuff, used it on all sorts of cars, old and new. Just be sure to wear a mask and goggles, unless you think your mucus membranes need a little rust protection...

Dinitrol is meant to be pretty good also. I used to use them on my classics in europe.
Unfortunately I have found absolutely no rust inhibiting stuff here in the south East of the USA.
And people look at me blankly when I ask for these kinds of products-some even offer me autoglym wax
I dont even know if it or something similar is availiable in the northern yankee states- Eastwood doesnt do anything similar.
No wonder cars in Michigan collapse when they get slightly old.

I've managed to come up with my own concoction which will have to do for now, that consists of used engine oil and lithium grease.

Clear Waxoyl is good. Stand it in some hot water to get it nice and runny.
Dynax S50 is excellent too... http://www.bilthamber.com/dynaxs50.html

If you want Dinitrol in the USA its branded as Ardrox.

Waxoyl is great if you are still living in the 70s, check out any comparison test and it's obliterated by more modern products. How it has survived is a mystery, nostalgia and a shelf full at Halfwits probably.

It *may* be OK for box cavities as it will wash straight out from exposed areas, but if your serious check out Dinitrol and Bilt Hamber stuff.

Waxoyl came out badly in some Practical Classics some years ago. It abrades easily on the underside and doesn't penetrate existing rust in box sections. It sells beacuase it's cheap compared to much superior products like Dinitrol and Bilt-Hamber and it's a name that most people recognise. Have a look here www.rust.co.uk
Owning several classics with a tendancy to dissolve, I've used most rustproofers over the years. Now I either use Bilt-Hamber products or Dinitrol 3125 for cavities and Dinitrol 4XXX (can't remember the number) for the underside.
I had a Triumph Toledo once which I regularly treated with Waxoyl, imcluding inside the sills, all applied with proper lances and probes using a compressor. After a few years it still looked pretty good until I pushed at what looked like a small scab on the sill and put my thumb right through. Closer inspection revealed terrible crusty rust with a thick layer of Waxoyl sitting on top. Never again.

thanks all

do you think it would be ok to put the dynax S50 on teh inside of wheelarches that are painted same colour as the car ? or is it just for running gear and metal chassis etc..
