mpbarrett Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I have had the lower part of the door skins replaced on my Herald. I now want to rust proof the inside of the door before I put the door cards back on again. What do people recommend for this, good old Waxoyl or is there something better out there? Happy to spend money on protecting it. cheers mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Not keen on Waxoil. Dynax S50 is very thin and creeps into seams, so ideal. I recently welded some repairs on my dolly doorskin, and used S50, and then some Dynax UB over the welded areas. I have also used Dinitrol products which are very similar. The Vitesse I inherited has a coating of grease applied in all sorts of areas, which a=has generally worked well, but I am not looking forward to some of the small repairs that are needed (meaning I will need to clean the grease off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 A DPO of one of my Vitesses had done "rust-proofing" with pitch. You know, the black tarry stuff they mend roads with. It was quite exciting trying to weld new metal in as you never knew when another pocket of pitch would ignite, spraying you, the floor and other car bits with flaming napalm!

Tim Bancroft Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Mike, Valvoline Tectyl Cavity Wax is supposed to be very good. Recommended to me by James Godfrey Dunn who runs a repair business next to Canley Classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I got 2 mint Herald doors from a scrapyard for my Vitesse rebuild in about 1989,plastered liberally inside with Waxoil everywhere including the chassis inside and out.Still mint today with no bubbling or anything. I think the formula may have changed as many people don`t rate it now. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Dinitrol LT or 3125HS Available in aerosols too. I’ve always bought it from Rejel Automotive but there are other sources too https://rejel.com/dinitrol-3125hs-high-solids-cavity-wax-500ml-aerosol-spray-can/ Edited January 2 by Nick Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
