Anti Rust Spray
My Disco3 is 10 years now and it's been a great truck. I am planning on keeping it for a few more years. I am seeing some surface rust on the chassis and I would like to take care of it before winter comes.
What good anti rust sprays are out there that I can use in my home garage that will stop rust and paint over?
Thanks,

Not sure about painting it over, but in the UK we have Waxoyl (a domestic and industrial version) and something called Dinitrol
It's very, very messy to apply
More knowledgable folk on here than me, but never seen a reported corrosion issue on a chassis - lots of reports of a patina of rust, only areas that suffer and have caused MOT failures are rear brake pipes with rear aircon pipes also suffering (though not an MOT issue)

We have places that do the the Waxoyl treatment, but it's expensive.
I was looking for an alternative spray, something I can do in my home garage.

Ankor wax is way better than waxoyl, much thinner so goes on much easier.
Loads of aerosol versions as well.

Good for small areas
They sell the waxoyl in spray cans. Just put the can in some warm water first. Rovers North sells the waxyol in aerosal cans. I think its $15.00 a can. Or you can buy it in larger quantity/cheaper and apply it yourself using a air compressor and spray can. I'm going to be applying the waxyol myself shortly.

Waxoyl is from the dark ages so forget it.
Dinitrol is the modern weapon of choice. Clean, easy and no mess.

Is Dintrol available in the US?
It looks like it's based in the UK only.
