Well in tests dinitrol comes out slightly better but plenty of owners use waxoyl with no problems.
Can you also reduce your picture size as its murder for those on dial up with that big a picture.

I have used Dinitrol. But I'd rather have a clean underside. I don't mind spending the afternoon under the car waxing it :D

What I do hate is having impossible to clean nails after working on my car!

Latex gloves mate. A bit sissy I know but I use them if painting or anything I know is going to irritate my skin. Not so much of it on a Minor but Auto gearbox fluid always used to bring me out in a rash on the back of my hands.

should be the link. i prefer these to latex as when you catch them they dont tear as bad as the latex which is just like a popped baloon in my opinion. :evil:
i usually get mine from work though and have gone through a box in one day doing really messy jobs. :-?

Being allergic to latex it's vinyl or vinyl nitrile I use when working (being a nurse(nearly) I need to keep my hands clean too; so they're rather important to me).

A note of caution (not as a nurse, just as a normal citizen!) - go for the nonpowdered ones if you do buy gloves, the powder may seem to make it more comfortable, but has been shown to increase the likelyhood of later developing an allergic reaction. Especially if you wear them loads - it's probably why I developed a reaction to latex, 'cos I didn't used to be allergic.

Also the powdered ones tend to go incredibly manky after 5 minutes if you have slightly acidic skin :) I go for nitrile at work and in the garage, I avoid irritated skin and they are purple :D

Back to the original question, I've used both waxoyl and dinitrol and both are much better than doing nothing or applying the dreaded underseal!

Don;t put any on if you think the car will need to be welded in the near future, in those areas.

Dinitrol seems to go on nicer from a schultz gun than does waxoyl.
