I asked for that, didn't I ? :¬ |

Well the Micra is 1987 reg, had it four years, and I did what I could with WD40, plusgas and waxoyl. So now I'm looking to the future and want new options, opinions. ;)

Don't buy a Micra. & definitelt don't buy a Ka.

That "Converust" spraycan stuff that Frosts sell.

Dinitrol. One of the best, but not the cheapest. Several different rust treatment or prevention products according to the particular application. Mike.

"Miike G" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

I'd suggest that any good product will come up with much the same results, and that the real difference will come in the quality and completeness of the application...

I mis-read your post - thought you meant rust cures. Waxoyl is pretty good if you don't mind a bit of a mess.

It was useful in fact - I'll probably need proofing and cures!

Asyou ask the question then I guess you already do the usual winter preparation - good wash with proper stuff (washing up liquid contains salt), clean whelarches and apolishand then keep the car as clean as you can?

Waxoyl. It does a certain amount of rust curing as well as prevention and it's fairly cheap. A 5L can does my 1965 Jag.

I've used it on older classic cars for years. It's best applied with a compressed air driven underseal gun (Schutz gun?).

You may be able to borrow a compressor if you haven't got one and the guns themselves are pretty cheap.

This time of year I put the 5L Waxoyl can on a camping stove to keep it runny and the smaller Waxoyl "Schutz" cans in a pan of hot water on the stove (the pan is actually a baby milk tin) to keep it fluid enough for effective spraying.

It's all rather messy but effective.
