Clem said:I use Ankor Wax for the underside, and all internal cavities. You can use Waxoyl in the same way, just sprayed or painted on and in ... it all runs into the nook and gives good coverage. I prefer Ankor as its thin naturally and hardens on air contact so is easier to work with. Both do a good job and will need to be reapplied semi-rugularly externally.
For paintwork use Ankor Way on very flat paint or surface rust if you like the 'look' - but it will take some removing if you ever want a show winning shiney paint job in the future. On shiney paint just use car polish.
Araon said:The other thing ankor will darken the look of the paint considerably......it will buff to a deep shine but takes a hell of a lot of work as Clem states it hardens on exposure most use it for the aged matt look it offers with little effort.

On drying, a thin grease film provides long term indoor protection or medium to long term outdoor protection dependent upon storage conditions. Application, preferably by dipping but spraying or brushing may also be employed. Removal is by hydrocarbon solvent or by use of a suitable alkaline cleaner.

So, looks like you can use an 'alkaline cleaner' to get it off easier.
I found directions to make your own alkaline cleaner on ehow - http://www.ehow.com/how_4557093_make-allnatural-alkaline-cleaner.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :shadey:
I was going to work on the chassis next, but you guys made me excited at the prospect of making the paint darker! I might get some Ankor Wax and do that next!
Where is the best / cheapest place to get some? There used to be a guy on egay selling it, but I can't find him.. :?
