Hey,
In the process of fitting some electrics to my front doors and thought i might aswell clean out all the dust that is stuck to the various oils etc used to prevent rust. Have now degreased and scrubbed inside the doors as best i can. So now do i just cover it in fish oil it again or should i use some body deadener paint instead... or both?
cheers

You can just give it a few coats of fish oil again...

I can do both, is it better to use body deadener or fish oil?
I use fish oil first, let it dry then sound deadner...
but You could use the sound deadner first as it will dry fast
then the fish oil to make sure there's no rust...
I haven't found any paints etc to come off with fish oil...
it seems to adhere to anything...
cheers

Fish oil is sensational stuff - I tend to use it in preference to cavity wax on older unrestored metal in good shape and wax on new or just-restored metal, if that makes sense
wax has that 'new car' smell! Fishoil doesn't!

mite go with the body deadener then fish oil over the top incase ive missed something then. But first of all im going to get some high density rubber to cut back the road noise a little. Thanks for the help guyz.
Anyone got any tricks on lubing up the window winders to make them move easier?
Lanitec (lanolin spray) seems to work okay

already greased up the felt channels and as much of the track as possible. Shud i bother taking the track out to fully lube up?
if there fairly dry and full of dirt and dust it can make a hell of a differnce
just be prepared for the smell with fish oil,
i once did the inside of my doors and none of my mates would get in the car for months
probably a good thing

yea, luckily your fav shops got deoderised fish oil which is what i wud go with. Spent all day today scrubbing out the old oil covered in dust and dirt that was acting as a sponge.
looks like im going to use these in this order
sound dampening
body deadener
fish oil
shud ensure no rust for a few more years :-)
Yes, Deodourised fish oil is great,
although I used the raw stuff for many many years and had cars that smelt like fish.... most of the time...
The good fish oils also have rust inhibitors etc...
I don't know why they need that...
as the fish oil just dries and covers up any rusted or non rusted surfaces and stops any moisture or air getting to the metal...
