been to get a new applicator and some wayoxl this morning and noticed they do it in a spay aerosol can, its expensive at £9 a tin but is it any good? i've bought some to test as its quite a large can so should be enough for a couple of applications.
anyone used it before?

i'll let you know how i get on later.

Yes i have used it a lot and they work fine. Yes expensive but then again how much do you need to use??

My main issue with is was the lack of any extension probe for getting in the box sections.

I always keep comma wax seal in a aerosol for small bits but bigger tins for a whole car as it's much cheaper and i have a compressor to fire it in with,much easier.

[duffman]

well i agree, it could do with a probe or something to spray it into the nooks and cranies, box sections etc.

was quite messy if i'm honest due to the nozzle being quite small and suffering from build up which dripped everywhere lol.

there was enough, JUST to do the whole unserside but if i'm honest i wouldn't use it again for a full coating, however it is brilliant for quick application to small areas like the external battery box, sub-frames etc.

overall, in my opinion, not a bad idea to keep a tin handy to coat any work you've just done but for a full underside coating, get the applicator and the big refil tin.

the cans are ok of a small area like a door or something but you would need lots to do a whole mini

I use Dinitrol in spray cans. I've been told it is much better than waxoyl for rust proofing. You can get dinitrol cavity wax in cans with a long attachment for getting into box sections.

Dinitrol is more heavy duty, I have used cavity wax version and also Dinitrol 4941..

Another Dinitrol product is AV30. Its very thin but gets in everywhere however if you are using any Dinitrol product especially in spray form YOU MUST use a mask. If inhaled it will waterproof the linings of your lungs causing you to drown in your own fluids.

This is not a scare tactic folks just a fact so please take heed.

[sport2000]

Drown in your own fluids... Really?... never had a problem...
Can't remember if I used a mask to be honest!
I must of or I be in the ground by now!

Having worked with this stuff for a long time and seen the risk assessments and COSHH reports about it over exposure will cause lung damage. We heed the warnings as we tend to use a lot of it on civil aircraft.

Its like any water displacing fluid spray etc you inhale it and it will cause you to cough. Its like anything good that works tends to have bad side effects for example Trich and MEK a brilliant cleaner but really nasty. Our industry is becoming really health and safety conscious and some of the products we have and are still using are really bad for your health.

Having just looked at the safety data sheet for the product you use it says in brief exposure to use a respiratory protective filter and in intensive or longer exposure to use self contained respiratory protective device.

Some of their products are safer than others but wearing a mask is an easy thing to do. Better to be safe than sorry.

Which is better in terms of price and the rust proofing capabilities? Waxoyl or that Dinitrol?

[sport2000]

I think I used a mask although not an expensive one..mainly dust protection with a valve built in...

Dinitrol is better than waxoyl by far, just my opinion..

[conlad]

Why exactly? It protects better?

[sport2000]

Protects better, problem with waxoyl is it wears off easy plus not very heat resistant.
Dinitrol is used by most vehicle manufacturers, hence not many rusty cars,
I've just found Dinitrol harder wearing.. I'm pretty sure ministry of defence tested it and coated metal with dinitrol and left in salt water for quite a while with outstanding results..
I'm sure google would come up with some research results..
