Hi there. After a couple of months with my Jimny I recon I am getting to know her, her good and bad habits! I have been up to the axels in mud and water and been where a Toyota utility and even a Defender got stuck. What I would like an opinion on is the use of wax oil. I used some 40 years ago to inject it and thouroughly smother the underparts , nooks and crannies of my cars. What is recommended and your opinion now?
Topping up or starting with an older ca4 I would be using waxoyle or dinitrol or similar. Starting with a new car I would be on with buzzweld,.

No , buzzweld is a direct from the supplier thing. They have lots of different types of paintable finishes for different applications. Google them.

Now I'm not a fan of Wayoyl. It can trap moisture under it in pockets, especially if there was already a little rust you didn't know about, albeit a good side brushing ought to be done first.
I'm much more a fan of a proper paint and personally use Hamerite, topping up with fresh coats as required.
I'm not experienced with buzzweld but believe it to be better.
Cavities I believe are best treated in road cars with old engine oil, however, not on a car that will go through Fords or other water and leave a rainbow effect in its wake! Not good for ze fishes!
