This stuff sounds like it's the biz...anybody used it? I'm quite near the sea (which is nice ) and things turn rusty quick, you can almost watch happening...

I have not used it, nor heard anything about it. It sounds too good to be true - I'm intrigued to learn that it's 200% elastic!

Yes simmitc - too good to be true! Except it seems to be rated by industrial users (on steel cladding not cars though). Tempted to try a bit out, it's expensive (https://andrewscoatings.co.uk/shop/meta ... ys-noxyde/) but not as expensive as some of them I've come across. Might try it on the tin roof of my morris fettling shed which has lost most of it's zinc. I've tried using liquid zinc paint but was disappointed. I've since learnt that you have to apply it to fresh, bright steel because steel starts reacting with any moisture in the air immediately and any rust carries on developing under the paint. Usually only factory environments can do it properly.

I used a rust preventer with lanolin.Niw everything smells of sheep so this is handy maybe for next year.

And I'm going to use a lanolin based gloop to spray into box sections - I'm told it creeps and displaces moisture and perhaps use this tough stuff on exposed bits. Hopefully the sheep won't mob me when I drive through Llanberis on my way to weekend hill walks

The spray gun was useless so brushes on.Kerp an eye out for rams.

Found my spray useless on large areas so brushed on.Keep an eye out for rams.

Now that's good advice, I will keep an eye out for any rams.

I’ve used Waxoyl on two restorations with good results, I know it’s been around for a long time but that’s no bad thing. I suppose I’m saying if something works, you stick to it. All manufacturers claim to be the best !

Handy to know.

worried about welding...doing increasing amounts as the years go by and some people have apparently started fires. Lanoguard might be similar (my prefered option in box sections) but my experience is it's a bit thinner and doesn't build up as much. But on exposed sections I'm looking for some kind of tough paint. Noxyde looks like it might be it, but only a long trial will tell.
