I would avoid dinitrol. I covered by chassis from new with dinitrol and sprayed the outside of the rear cross member also. Whilst it provides excellent protection, it scuffs quite bad and looks shoddy after a while. Use on the inside fine, use something else on the visible parts.

I used buzzweld CIO. Good stuff, applies well, has a nice finish and hasn’t yet started to fade. This is now 6-8 months down the line

Well buzzweld is 99% Corroless paint anyway the marketing jargon and product names are too close to say they are not. It's just fancy marketing.
Browse through the Corroless website and their product page you can get the jist of how good it is. Now arc rite sell this stuff in small amounts so some Google fu and Boom Corroless all in one chassis paint Simples |

Thanks for you all your replies. I’m going to use the buzzweld I have and do it again in the spring. ACF 50 ? What are the results and where can it be used. Is it like dinitrol or paint ?

ACF 50 is a corrosion inhibitor spray and lubricant, like an expensive WD40 ! Works well in enclosed areas as it has a low viscosity and will run in to corners well would not work so well in exposed areas as it would get washed off. I usually buy it from amazon in aerosol cans but can be bought in larger quantities. 2005 Td5 90 XS

Excellent I have ordered some for the Bulkhead. Last what is the best thing so spray on the inside of the wheel arches? The tub basically.

I’ve never really applied anything to the tub itself as it’s alloy but it is worth getting something in to the steel floor reinforcing struts under the rear floor to protect them.
If I was to do the rear arches would probably go with a good quality stone chip type coating as this would protect from abrasion and would have a sound deadening effect too. I think dinitrol do this type of coating. 2005 Td5 90 XS Steve |

Rubbed mine down to bright steel, then sprayed with a couple of coats of Zinc 182, then just sprayed it with Upol Satin black. Dinitrol the bits you can't see.
Still looks as good as new 18 months later. Click image to enlarge |
