Hello,
I've had my Tiger since 1976 and had the rust cut out and new metal patched
in twice. With the compulsory new paint job. Massachusetts winters.
In our parts, there have been a number of anti-rust products with
muffler-shop style sales presentations:
Ziebart, Rusty Jones, Tuffcoat Dynal are just three that come to mind. As
one of our Listers pointed out, application was a variable that had a great
effect on the long term outcome.
With today's superbly treated cars, all shops that I know of have
disappeared. There is no real rust problem with modern cars even in the salty
winters of our area.
So, that leaves 1) super-specialty body shops that have no experience in
application and 2) home application. There is a British product,Finnigan's
Waxoyl, that Gary Fish and I used after we striped our hard-tops. It is used
to good effect in Britain on even North Sea oil rigs, but application I
found was a pain in the a**. Dilution and temperature have to be just so.
Especially temperature. You need to heat up water to put the solution can in
and occasionally take it out to re-heat the water. And you need to keep up
heat the applicator hose. Definitely a summer, or heated indoor product.
But.........it does come highly recommended. The Brits don't seem to use
anything else.
I don't know about other home-applied products, though when I did
research earlier this year, others didn't leap out of Google.
Hope this helps.
