Anyone used this stuff before https://www.ebay.co....tm/111802456656 I'm tempted getting a tin and coating all the underside of the vx around all the wishbones, uprights, suspension, chassis to protect the new paint. If anyone that had used it what does it dry like and does it attract dirt?

I do the fastenings to stop them get rusty or siezed. I wouldn't do any more than that as it does attract crap.

From experience, in order of efficiency and longevity I would say

1.Waxoyl, and Hammerite underseal with added Waxoyl. Pretty useless (like most Hammerite alleged rust preventative solutions).  Stays sticky for a few weeks attracting dirt, then dries out slowly and won't last 12 months before it appears OK on the surface but is totally porus to moisture.

2. Tetrosyl.  Same but better/longer performance.

3. Dinitrol (the thick black one, can't remember the number) Same sticky period before drying out but seems to remain water repellent indefinitely.  I've used it to spot touch up the inside of my rims where the laquer was peeling and it's still doing the job years on and still repels moisture on other parts of the car.  I've also used Dinitrol 3654 which is a brown liquid on exposed suspension parts and though it's supposed to be for cavities it actually works very well when exposed to the elements.

 

I've just done the whole suspension rustproofing bit and finished off with this http://www.amazon.co.../dp/B002VDAPLI

which is allegedly the best you can get.  It's expensive and has to be at a pretty high temperature to spray on and as I didn't have the requisite equipment I applied it by hand after heating, which was very messy and time consuming with masking brakes and stuff.  It's bound to attract dirt and only time will tell how good it is.  It's not wax based so I don't think it will dry out.

I've got sh*t loads of the brown dinitrol stuff. Bought 5 litres and injected it into the chassis on the noble.

Now it won't stop leaking out 😂

Actually, the one place that Waxoyl is good is in enclosed element/weather free spaces because it sets and doesn't deteriorate there in the same way and doesn't drip (for long)..  That Dinitrol stuff is good but doesn't set, and of course when you're doing that job and can't actually see what's going on inside a chassis member if you're anything like me you pump in twice as much as is actually needed just to make sure you've covered it all to be on the safe side.

Waxoyl dripped out of my kit car chassis every summer so no better than the Dinitrol. I have used this on my suspension: http://www.bilthamber.com/dynax-uc

For the tub I give mine an annual clean and then a good douse in acf50. Use the same procedure on planes and its stood me in good stead so far.

3m cavity wax is good. If a little expensive.

Looks like a good product from the description, and reasonably priced too.

Very easy to apply as well.

I'm almost wishing I'd been aware of it before I used the stuff I applied, my God it was messy and it's impossibly to apply evenly as it's hot and sets on contact with cold metal.  Covers well but looks a real mess.
