OK guys...Now taking your recipe's for homebrewed rustproofing..My dad used to use a mixture of Sherwin Williams Asphaltum Varnish and boiled linseed oil thinned with kerosene..The old '61 Falcon seemed to last pretty well...SW doesn't sell Asphaltum anymore..What do you use??
 
Grease mixed and thined with mineral spirits to allow it to be sprayed on with a pressure vessel and wand. You don't want to be uder the spray when applying this stuff. Also don't smoke or be around sparks and open flame or in an enclosed garage.
 
Are you wanting to rustproof a car? People haven't fooled with that crap for many years now. I had my '79 Olds 'rustproofed' when I bought it new. It worked..but by and by the car makers got their dung together and the need went away.

If you're wanting the product used by rust proofers..you want to get one of the Alox configurations...which was made by the Alox Corporation which was swallowed up by some other maker. I think the product used on cars was Alox 66. Google Alox and see what it tells you. Liquid Alox is sold as a bullet lubricant for folks like me, that cast lead bullets. But that stuff is too thin for what you want. I think that most Alox was more or less the same stuff...just different viscosities. It makes a damned mess, stains everything it touches and stinks.
