Hi Has anyone had experience with any products for coating their Rat?

ie: to protect the rust finish?

I have heard of various waxes, and have heard of a product called Penetrol...

Has anyone used it?

How should one apply it?

I use penetrol at work and it is a good product. Although I dont have a rat with surface rust, thats what I would use. It stops the rust from developing any further but dries clear. I'm not sure whether it would be too glossy after a couple of coats, so I would do a test sample first. Cheers. Greg

thanks for that,
How would you apply it? with a rag?

do you think you could put that attachment up again, it didn't come through...

I only use Ankor Wax, best stuff!

how do you apply Ankor Wax?

how regularly?

It can be applied with a low pressure spray gun or brush. Brush is the easiest method, and can be buffed back a little with a rag.

It goes a long way, doesn't need to be applied often. Depends where you live and what look you are after.

is that what you used on the SC ute?

Yep, only use Ankor Wax on him.

thanks... awesome image... and ute.
Do you apply the wax just in the areas with surface rust... or on the painted areas to?

Thankyou!

All over the painted areas, as you would a clear coat.

now.. just a question or two..
what if you want to paint your car one day? will ankor wax stuff up your chances?

Seems penetrol, discolours current paint..

mmmm.

Probably a dumb question. Where do you buy an or wax from?

penetrol is at bunnings in 2 x sizes in the paint sections
with paint preparation products

I have no idea about ankor wax

-- decided not to use penetrol on my new car as i didn't like the way it discoloured the original paint if it got on it.
-- not sure if i wanna put wax on my new car, as it's only got a few places with bare metal, so i might just use PAINT.. interesting thought.

Ankor wax can be purchased from Al at Das Resto Haus on the Gold Coast or from Brad at Bus n Bug in Melbourne

Ahh rightio then, I'll have to order a batch. Yeah mine only has a few bits with bare metal but the paint is old and thin... Ratty haha so I'm just gonna wax the thing. Better in the long run I thinks

Slownlow, show us ya new ride! Mines up in members ride under 65 bug. It's what I used the money from my p.o.s Kombi

I used Clear Coat on mine. just lightly scuffed it up and sprayed, been on there for 3 years and still good.

I think all my questions have been aswered and I didn't even have to ask one... Great job gents..
