Or bilthamber UB wax direct onto chassis for prolonged protection, has very good longevity and protection against road salt

Buzzweld CIO. Its the same stuff they use on the oil rigs in the north sea so it'll last on a defender chassis
Seem to recall it stops rust too. not sure of the ins and out but if you are on fb, find buzzweld (Craig Jones) and give him a message, he is quite active on there 
Just did my rear X member this afternoon with no prep and it looks good with a knackered brush too lol

I jet washed my chassis, then wire brushed the worst bits of rust, then rinsed it off quickly again.
When it was dry I put rust converter on before treating it. 2002 td5 90 county hardtop |

So many options, so much advice...
I use a product called Fertan http://www.fertan.co.uk/ great product seems to kill the rust. The Dinitrol after Seems to keep the rust at bay for years with the odd top-up of Dinitrol Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

I've heard good reports about buzzweld too, so I thought I'd give it a go on my current rebuild, but he wanted £ 35 to post a litre to Ireland 
Some Uk companies must think Ireland is the other side of the world  |

I've just been using phosphoric acid diluted into water, which is the active ingredient in most rust converters - seems to be working ok.

I went through this process this past winter.
It''s all contained in my my renovation thread (page 5 in particular) http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic40792-60.html 2000 Td5 with lots of surface rust on the frame. I did a detailed cleaning job on the compete underside. Hot water pressure wash with cleaner, then wire-cup all the surface rust, followed by POR15 cleaner, metal prep and paint, then Dinitrol. I need to complete the renovation thread, as the truck is complete now (just been too busy to get to finishing the post, but this may get me onto it!). I have been very happy with the result, and of course like any job of this type, the more prep work you put in, the better the result will be. Photos below are the rear frame after removing the fuel tank. • pressure washed • cleaned and peeped with POR 15 Metal Prep • after 2 coats of POR 15 before Dinitrol Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge it's a Landrover thing... my renovation thread: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic40792.html |

Thanks guys loads of great advice. I will get on it in the next few weeks and give an update. I have already purchased the Di nitrol kit so I was more concerned with the prep needed before application. I will go for some kind of rust converter then a coat of chassis paint then dinitrol.
