My understanding is that Dinitrol 3125 is a standard "Waxoyl" like product to
be used for cavities
in cars. It's typically referred to as Dinitrol. I seem to remember some web
info from the UK, and
the author followed up and said it was Dinitrol 3125 he was referring to when
he said Dinitrol.
A summary of the Dinitrol products is here:

I bought mine here:
http://www.dingocroft.co.uk/Tools%20and%20Equipment/framesettools.htm (click
Lubes and Paint on the left Nav bar) I think I paid 8.50 UK each for 10 cans.
Shipping was expensive.
Spent a lot of money. Probably should have looked more for a US source. Oh well.
