Scott,
If you are happy with the POR in the engine bay then you might use it
elsewhere. Something to consider with it though, and I'm sure you know this:
that stuff sets up like a rock. Once it goes on, I don't know how you get it
off. If you are considering a restoration at some point in the future you
might actually have to get the car acid dipped to get the stuff off. I'm not
sure media blasting will touch it.
Another product you might consider it Zero Rust. It's easier to use than the
POR and is supposed to work really well. You can buy quarts or rattle cans.
Just do a search for 'Zero Rust'.
My car was so heavily undercoated with something that was also rock hard, that
I had to have my car dipped. Results were great, and fortunately no bad
surprises underneath.

Subject: Waxoyl or POR?
Hi folks,
I keep reading these English publications and Waxoyl is mentioned quite
often. My mashed Healey will be driven for a few years in it's current state
and I would like to protect it as much as possible from rot.
I have rocks and dirt in there behind the front wheel arches and I have
tried to spray it out with little success. I suppose I will try to make a
tool to get in there next.
Once I clean out the debris should I try to spray Waxoyl or POR in there? I
need to cover the under side of the car as well. I see several products
listed for Waxoyl. Anyone know which is easiest to use and most versitile
for the majority of the car?
I have used POR in the engine compartment and it works pretty well.
Cheers,
Scott
