Hi Al.
Another option to throw into the equation is Bilt-Hamber. All their products seem to come out top in Practical Classics tests. Their own published results show them better than the 2 you mentioned (no names but not too hard to work out).

I was recommended the Dinitrol option on the basis that it does not dry over time, compared to Waxoyl.
Because it uses thermosetting wax as opposed to oil, it has more of the 'creep' ability - critical for box sections.
I've used Waxoyl for over 20 years and I've now changed to Dinitrol. Waxoyl is great on clean, not rusty box sections but it doesn't seem to penetrate any rust already present.
Practical Classics did a test a few years ago on all the wax-based rust treatments available and Dinitrol came out on top as it penetrates really well and is easy to apply being much thinner than waxoyl. The waxoyl hardly penetrated at all, even if thinned down.The downside is the cost of Dinitrol. Cheaper than welding in new metal though.On the underside where it would be abraded I use 3125 and then a coat of body schutz on top. This seems to work well.

I have waxoyl on mine it`s lasted nearly 20 years but it is now gone hard and starting to chipping off in places and could be hiding some nasties,
it needs something more flexible like dinitrolor similarnext time.

Waxoyl's always been my choice, but more modern formulas have superseded it, Bilt Hamber and Dinitrol look the best right now. Martin.
