Bilt Hamber is the best IMO. Used it a lot on a DC5 I had due to it not being undersealed as its was JDM.

i think the gel looks good if it is flat panels that are easly wrapped to keep moist but i like kurust or similier for tricky bits brackets etc
might just have to try them see what works best , im also thinking waxoyl for inside doors and wings etc and por15 for more exposed areas behind bumpers ,wheel arches and undersides
any more thoughts / advice welcome

Gary for anywhere like under the car or wheels arches that gets a real hammering another product from Bilt Hamber called Dynax, it comes as a spray or in a tin. Its like black treacle and I just brushed it on my wheel arches. Similar to Waxoyl but harder wearing.

Dinitrol cavity wax is very good for inside panels/sills. That's what I've used. Also good to spray on light wear places like behind bumpers, keeps the moisture out and rust at bay.

red oxide has stood test of time with me on non car items so think i will go back to it for my classic, tried new tech por15, bilt hammer etc and its not all that its made out to be.
I will 100% never ever underseal or waxoyl a car again!!
ps methyl/white spirits wont clean up por15 but any generic proper thinners will with ease.

I've just used a rust converter called Fertan. The write up on it quite Inpressive, also search on YouTube. I've used it on my arb brackets, now they have been blacked by the treatment(dead rust), you just wash off any excess after a day and then paint. They claim a treated surface will stay Rust free for up to 6 month without any protection (not sure about this ?). I will find out.....
what I liked about this treatment you can spray it, brush it etc, really user friendly and can use it in damp conditions.

im going to get the rustbuster epoxy mastic 121. now looking into prep .
seems to be that all old paint should be removed im not sure how well it will work, wire brushing and treating the rusted areas then painting over it with the em 121 and the surrounding sound paint .

I did my VW camper that was an aussie import 7 years ago. The whole underneath had surface rust, but not much else. Did it with epoxy mastic and its still looks just as good today, albeit with a coating of dirt.

I have painted the whole underside of an Impreza with 121. I removed every component and angle grinder wire brushed all of the old underseal and paint off to bare metal. Then applied to bare steel. Worked well but if you do this make sure to seam seal on any welded seam. Or when the seams flex the epoxy may crack. You can paint the epoxy on seam sealer easily. Ideally lots of 121 int he seam, then sealer then more 121.
Also worth mentioning the angle grinder with a steel wire brush attachment is one of the most dangerous tools I own. It will suddenly take hold of something and try to throw the grinder around out of your hand. Also the bristles fly off like spears and stick in you. You definitely want good googles, a face mask, gauntlet type gloves and ear plugs.
It seems fine on the top of light rust but also good over converted rust. While using all these products make sure not to get them in threaded holes! Even the converter as its a latex glue and will block them.
