Default 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.

You might get away with 2 cans but 3 would be safer.

You don't need to plaster it on for it work.

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.

Bilt Hamber sell kits here - https://www.bilthamber.com/detailing..._store=default - slightly cheaper than buying the same products separately.

2 x dynax-s50 750ml
1 x dynax-UB 750ml
1 x dynax-UC 750ml
1 x surfex HD 1L

£59.95 instead of £70.00

Which one to use where - https://www.bilthamber.com/which-cavity-wax

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.
