What To use and how to dinitrol

This has probably been asked a few times, can't find much on the search.

I want to dinitrol my 110, I have never done this before and not sure where to start.
Which products do I use? ML3125 inside the box section and 4941 on the on the external?
How much do I do? Just the chasis and axels? Or every thing except exhaust?

Under body was on any steel surfaces so axles, springs (if need be) chassis and so on. You can do floor pans underneath too as I did but that is only for satisfaction really that it is ALL done. No Guts, No Glory.

2002 Defender 110 Td5 Black LE Java Black

I bought this kit from rejel

http://www.rejel.com/rejel-store/categoryi.../9405.aspx

I found there was 1 can too many of the cavity wax and one too few of the underbody stuff. However, I did do all the underside of my 110 including springs and floor panels and inner arches front and rear (galvanised arches rather than the plastic ones fitted these days.

Once done, how often should it be renewed? The supplier says 6 months to 2 years, but they would wouldn't they? So what's the practical life?

Once every two years would probably work for me.

I would say one year for a top up but more major after 2 years. To be honest unless you do serious off-roading or especially wading then I think it will be fie for quite a long while. It's the initial application that's the most important IMO anything else is adding more to it. No Guts, No Glory.

To start with, spend 6 months jet washing the chassis,this is how long I have been cleaning mine and this morning I found another clump of dried mud

.I'm pretty sure it's clean now...it better be, as I painted all the x-members,outriggers and most of the chassis in June.
Personally, I'm only going to properly Dinitrol (aerosols) the inside of the chassis and x-members,with only a very,very light coating on the outside,as I like to jet wash periodically and will Dinitrol the outside again before next winter.

I cleaned mine too completely by hand and to the rear had to internally also.

A real painstaking job though to get right AND find all the dirt and rubbish lingering. It is possible though. Not easy with no ramps or anything for that matter. No Guts, No Glory.

Proper coat of 3125 and 4941 on top and you won't have to reapply for 3-4 years even with hard off road use. Just touch up with a can of 4941 if you get knock etc. and on main wear points.

Cheers
