Dinitrol. End of. Get it off eBay

Ive used Morris Ankor wax on my two old landrovers and it seems to stay soft and last quite well, I also add in a little new engine oil to help it creep better.

But as Marmaduke alludes to above any old style chassis wax is now pretty old hat, I use it as ive got a stash of it and the gear to apply it.

I was considering different solutions for some time and in the end turned to a professional shop. Very pleased with the result. If You have doubts that they won't do the inside of the chassis, ask them to put in the liquid into the ladder frame first, show it to You and then do the outside. I'm happy I didn't attempt doing it myself. Can't imagine the amount of dirt I would have created doing it myself Also the cost was much less. They used a product called Tectyl from Finland (I live in Estonia).

Blit hambler gets good reviews, so I tried it, comes out of the can like petrol and then goes off quite hard. It got everywhere!

I hear lots of recommendations for Dinitrol, and considering it myself. It is a lot more money than Waxoyl, which is the stuff we poured into a Mini back in the day.

Cheers for the reply’s it’s a job I want to do before the winter gets here

Winter will be here before you know it, you really want some stonking hot weeks so the chassis dry inside.

If using waxoyl use 3 parts gear oil to one part waxoyl, reason being is waxoyl dries which you don’t want on and old wagon

This one?

Prolan lanolin based wax. We use it all the time in rural NZ. Wards off cow shizer and fertiliser slurry (incredibly corrosive) and smells nice (if you like sheep). Environmentally sound and great on leather boots.

Just checked the price. £132 for 5Ltrs

Blimey, at least Turpin used to wear a mask. I just paid $120 New Zealand for a 4 litre tin of the heavy grade enduro. Thats about 60 quid.
It can't cost too much to ship in bulk. Missed opportunity I think, pricing it out of a new market like that.

Really good stuff, I've used Dinitrol, ACF 50, Waxoil, old engine oil, stinky (deodorised) fish oil All work very well, especially dinitrol and fish oil. Prolan, just as good and better for the environment and so on.
