No, I'm pretty sure they'll all give you cancer if you spray them.  Wear a vapour mask (not a dust mask) and you can use the Bilt Hambler, Dinitrol LPS products safely. Add some thin gloves and some goggles for sure as well.  Spraying is the only way to ensure a decent coverage to the extremes where corrosion likes to start, like between our wheel arch panels.

WD40 ,or any oil, is not suitable for corrosion prevention for any decent length of time and probably a very expensive‎ way to do things. You need something that sets in place.

Waxoyl is just old hat now, don't waste your time and money on it. If it was ever any good it's probably not now as they'll have had to remove the stuff that is good for metal but bad for humans in order to sell it to the public easily at places like Halfords. ‎
thanks for the advice, I presume it is still a good precaution even if using them outside.
that will probably be the next job, after replacing the headrests, taking the whole assembly out is very difficult!

If you can do it in the warmth it’s better too; helps the product flow, which means it’s more likely to creep into all the places it needs too.

This is my favourite as ‎one area is just defined as "shit". Haha
I'd sussed R = Rust
D = Dent

but F & S, or not enough room for the full text?

Haha,‎

I think "F" might be "flaking" because those areas had lacquer peel and "S" I think they said is "scratch". ‎

F = just a flesh wound

SWAMBO has been 'remodelling' the N/S rear arch on the carport/dividing wall, so more red paint required :-(

That is looking sumptuous!! I don't intend for mine to have such a thorough job but hopefully it will soon be presentable








Now you've just got to put it back together again!
