Rust proofing
I've got to treat some corrosion on the R25 this summer. I was going to use some Bilthamber wax and paint on the underside: dynax S50 & UB (brushed on, unless advised otherwise - I don't have spray kit). How must would I need for a small hatch of each product?

Dynax S50 comes in spray cans with an option for a 360 degree spray lance for inner sections (access via drainhole). One can treated both my sills and a coat on the rear suspension too.

I agree! One can did one coat. I've used another, once the first dried (took ages) and have another part used for touching up.

Spray cans are a much better bet than paint on.
The liquid will get into places that you can't see and could possibly miss.--- |

I will add my thoughts.
I stripped down my entire rear end, new everything apart from subframe, but all the parts I sent off for blasting, zinc priming, then finished in off-shore grade black 2pack paint. (even the new bits as the standard finish is garbage) I then used 3M white cavity wax inside the subframe and upper arms, which worked wonderfully, and also then used Dynax-UB to coat all the steel brake lines and fittings and bolt heads under the car to prevent anything corroding. I cannot recommend the dynax UB enough, it is great stuff. A huge can, and if you multi layer it, even if thick it dries quite clear over time so it does not really affect the look of the car. |
