It's possible to over apply by brush so tried diluting and spraying with a hand pressure parts sprayer but it really needs 3 or 4 bar air. Overspray to non rusted panels looks like it has a protective coating. Might want to first give bad areas a good tap or wire brush then turn it upside down and tap hard to locate any welding needs though, especially near seat anchors.
Tried waxoyl on trucks before but after 12mths it seems to dry out and flake off .. but might adhere better to this aquasteel stuff so will give it a go after all it's not a £15,000 TVR it's 200,000 mile van! But want a few more miles yet and it's too good to let the tin worm eat it.
Dinitrol is supposed to be as good a protective product as there is but all these fluids are big bucks .. but then so is welding in basstd areas!!
