Hi Turbodave,

I still haven't decided best rust proofing way to go, but it was just intended as a houmorous link for a 'we've all been there' thing.

I do think I still have a tin of Dinitrol or similar in the shed that I used a bit on my last car, 56 plate Audi Allroad 3.0 tid, don't ask..... hence perhaps now a first time Volvo owner.

I think the boiler suited, waste oil and stirrup pump guys had the best intentions though, although somewhat limited to the knowledge of the 70"s.

I can still recall the smell, of my old man spraying the b'jesus of gallons of waste oil/ waxoyl mix under Ford Popular circa 1974/5 done over a friendly farmers ditch that had railway sleepers across, simple and cost effective, although nowadays I think it might be frowned upon. Unfortunately I never found out if it worked, as it threw a big end around 3 months later.

Any suggestions for a good rustproofer treatment would be welcome, ideally just to touch up any chips in the factory under seal.

Cheers
Steve
