Default Hardcore rust proofing. ;) Lordy style. ;)

Hiya all How's everybody doing as we all love our cars and we want too preserve them I though I'd share some of my rust proofing story.

As you all know last year I went quite extreme with it and I did every single panel and behind it too went ott ut so far not a single spec of rust, how ever I'm still not 100% satisfied.

All the rest of the car is done just the underneath I haven't finished it off yet.
I've has red oxide three coats since last year and I'm happy too say none of its flaked off which is great, Still with the underneath of the car exposed too salt grit road debris etc I still want too do even more and I will

Been too BNQ today and bought myself a tin of Layland Trade Anti Corrosive paint, Red oxide does just that as well but I want too add more thickness and coats for even more greater protection.

then I'll use my favourite Gravitex stone chip protector like have done everywhere else, then red oxide again and more coats of the layland trade paint in the colour I'm after other coat of Gravitex and then I can finally do other coat of red oxide and then I can paint it in any colour of my choosing.

I don't think it will rust in a very long time did the same in the inside.
Its almost bomb proof and extreme.

Anyone got any story's of there rust proofing of there cars happy here what other great ideas that people have though up in the past, shame we can't use old engine oil, then again environmental health would get us for that.

Other idea came up with while I was at the store.

Was thinking of using this has a final coat, paint used for garage floors, strong very durable and doesn't break away as easily.

Hard as a stone.



If I could get it in blue that's what I'll use.

Sorry if I;m doing spelling mistakes blame the keyboard its almost beeped and whacking every button like a game of wack a mole.

Great photos and some serious work.

Maybe worth having a look at "POR 15" which gets some very good reviews:

Cheers for the link nice one I'll have a look at this and see what its like and Buy it.

Glad you enjoyed the photos.

Got more here of the my 75/ZT which I'm now missing very much.
That's when I used wax oil, I've stopped using it now as its not good as it use to be as a Rust deterrent in my oppion your almost guaranteeing rust as its traps and its not breathable so all the moisture is being kept in one place.

so started looking at other means last year came with my own and ideas I've found on the web and came up with this.

If this Ford rusts I'm going too be pee off as its cost a lot of money and more when I start it again.

When I buy other 75/ZT it will be the exact same thing.
Just hope this works.

Anyone else used any other anti rust related products?

Happy too hear any other suggestions people have in mind.
There so many out there and when you start reading you really get into it.

So many different methods Thought I'd mix it up a bit.

I too am not impressed with Waxoyl/Schutz, as you say, it flakes off anything but a clean metal or pre-painted surface. I took a heavy duty, circular wire brush on my angle grinder to the rear chassis of my 4x4, got it mostly down to bare metal , and gave it 2 coats of some old, green Hammerite I used to paint the kids' swing frame with 20 years ago! Hammerite washes clean very easily, so you can quickly see if it has deteriorated or come off, and touch in if needed. I did the wheelarches with black, but defects are less obvious, so not as good.

There's one thing that are Fords are good at its rusting.

Wish I had such a neighbour The whole supply would be long gone with me being next door.

Probe's rust just as bad as the Ford Orion and sierra.
