Never heard of it so can’t advise I’m afraid. I use Dinitrol or Bill Hamber (and NOT Waxoyl!). Both excellent.

Whats your reason for not using waxoyl

Wow - 2 stunning cars there OP.

Such a shame the Black Keys didn't put your Chevy on the cover of their El Camino album.

Anyway back on topic I hope you can find a good rust treatment!

Love the Elk, I want a late 60s one some day.

Re the Lanoguard, I've seen adverts for this recently too. It's claiming a lot; apply in no time at all, protect your car for eons, cheap to buy. I smell snake oil, but happy to be corrected if anyone actually knows?

Dinitrol gets better reviews than waxoyl ?

Isn’t the other one a random Facebook advertisement product? Ie not available in the shops ( coz it’s ste lol)

That's a lovely pair... - I've also been pondering Lanoguard for my old hack, used Waxoyl previously on one of my others, that seems to have done a good job but was messy & generally not that pleasant. Looking at the Lanoguard website, they seem to recommend once or twice yearly reapplication, I'm not sure I can be bothered with that, & that also makes the value less attractive. However, I might give it a go when it warms up a bit, just to see.

I use the Dinitrol on the TR because it’s clear and apart from dulling down it leaves the surfaces clear. It depends I suppose how good condition the underside is. OP your Chevy looks tip top coming from a dry state should be nice underneath.

I used it years ago but over time found it was increasingly less effective and needed more frequent application. Since then I’ve used Bilt Hamber, which is excellent. A mate restores classic cars for a living and recommended Dinitrol, which I found to be pretty good too. For all of them, thorough prep is essential. Lovely El Camino BTW

Fabulous condition. And sensible to protect it - even with whatever rust proofing product you use, I'd be tempted not to dive it on our (salty) winter roads.

ps Do you have a 'tache like Earl Hickey?

Friendly note of caution, a previous car of mine had an exhaust hanging off the body like that, and over time it cracked the panel. On the TR I've a similar exhaust to yours and it hangs from the cross-member, I'll try to get a pic next time I've got the car handy.

Hi Yertis Thanks for the concern which is a valid point, but the guy who did the rebuild reinforced the inside.

[steveo3002]

id go with bilt hamber or dinitrol

did see that lanolin based products can attract rodents mentioned on another forum
