[DeTomaso] Rust - does it go away?

[Julian Kift]

The UK has some really aggressive conditions for cars, coastal salt air, rain and salted roads in winter and cars literally rust from the inside out. We used to swear by Waxoyl (waxes suspended in white spirit, where the latter evaporates after application) that you spray liberally into all the chassis rails, rockers etc. I see there is at least one US outlet for it now....

Anyone who has scraped the 30 yr old hardened bitumastic off the underside of their Pantera will know that stuff is the worst water retainer and rust promoter ever.

In response to this I was totaly suprized to see my friends broken cast crankshaft outside a week after is was out of the engine covered in surface rust. I would have thought the engine oil would have protected it longer. I do paint and collision work. I can slow down surface rust, when it makes a hole, you have to cut around it, way around, also.
