I know that Waxoyl is THE product touted to be used for rust protection but
just like Amoral and WD40, there are much better products. Waxoyl is
paraffin wax dissolved in mineral spirit. Just try getting some sense out
of the suppliers - they skip around your questions !! Just get a couple
of pounds of paraffin wax and dissole in mineral spirit - and viola
waxoyl. Better product by far is Dinol. They only sell to the aircraft
industry in North America as that market buys by price not by
quality. Boeing, McDonnel etc etc use it - NOT Waxoy, Krone, Zeibart, even
though it is from Europel!! You need to buy AV 30 from
Chemetall 800-331-4304 http://www.dinolus.com/
