I found this on the web. What do you think? Anyone ever used it?

Here is a recipe for home made "Waxoyl". 
It's an old fashioned rust treatment / undercoating:
2 1/2 quarts turpentine
12 oz. beeswax / candle wax
1 quart light machine oil

With a cheese shredder, cut the wax into the turpentine, stir until the
wax has dissolved, (takes a long time; you can use very low heat (a warm
room) to aid but be careful)and thin with the machine oil to a brushable
/ sprayable consistency. Apply liberally. You can use a hand spray
bottle to get into closed-off sections if you have a small access hole.

Please be sensible when you make this stuff; don't go breathing the
fumes or applying heat and burning down your house. If you have any
doubts about it, err on the side of caution and just buy a commercially
available product.
