Replied by Roger Fairclough on topic Rustproofing.
Thanks to Bosanek for his informed comments.
On my Land-Cruiser I used Flag Roofix 20/10 . This is a non bituminous Draylon fibre reinforced compound that was originally formulated to preserve/reinforce or repair flat roofs. It does not harden but the top is not sticky so it will allow flex without cracking. The fibers strengthen the compound and help to resist damage, originally from foot fall but on my usage from anything thrown up from the road or track. I bought 5 litres from Toolstation but they don't list it anymore but they do have Black Jack "all weather roof coating" which sounds very similar.
For chassis rails and axle tubes I used a straight forward black bitumen paint which leaves a thicker than paint finish with a soft but not sticky finish which, again, resists cracking and lasts years.
I am happy that the rear wings have been treated to a satisfactory level but I am looking for something to apply to the inside of the chassis rails and maybe the doors so if anyone has ideas, I would be grateful for them.

Roger
