really missing you here in the states! your the best trev!
A friend is a big advocate of Lanolin for rust prevention. When I questioned him of the efficacy, he asked me; "When was the last time you saw a rusty sheep fence?" Good point!
When was the last time you've seen a rusty sheep ?
Or a rusty sheep 🤔
Its Great to see a new Trevs Blog video! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🖖🏼🖖🏼
I think the mystery product is furniture wax polish! Many years ago I bought a Nissan cabstar, cab had rotten doors and the front panel was perforated with up to 2" diameter rust holes! I cut out the rust and welded in new metal, and welded in new door bottoms and part frames made from old washing machine steel panels. After finishing the welding I sprayed inside the front panel and inside the doors with Waxoyl. There was no rust through when I sold the vehicle some 20 years later, and I found that one of the door speakers developing a fault was caused by the door being completely full of water up to the speaker!, when I drilled a hole to let the water out there was not a speck of rust inside the door and the water ran off the waxoyl, leaving it dry! Morrises of shrewsbury do a similar (identical!) product that they call Anchorwax. The trick is to spray inside all the hollow sections of the vehicle after you have repaired it! Love your videos Trev, have been subscribed for ages, you are a really talented panel man!
Phil, a really untalented panel man!
The can looks like it..but i instinctively thought hair spray..lol but i think your guess is probably correct
Hi Trev . When you mentioned about when you were repairing damage to cars that were still quite new that had corrosion internally and around spot welded joints on relatively new cars . When i was an apprentice i attended Gateshead Technical College as a body repair apprentice . A Dinitrol technition had come into the workshop to demonstrate their products and how to apply them properly . This was in the eighties and the college used to get wrote off bodyshells from the local body shops for the students to work on etc . The rep wanted to show how bad some of the factory applied rustproofing was that the likes of Ford etc were offering with their 6-Year warranties . He used an air chisel and sliced along the sill and quarter panel of a mk2 Fiesta and peeled it down to reveal literally a little drizzle of rustproofing fluid that had been applied through the rear arch into the sill and nothing along the length at all . He then used the dinitrol and blasted it in the other sill and quarter panel then chiselled along and peeled that down . The dinitrol had coated everywhere and was creeping between and out of all the joints . Modern cars are alot better protected now but the warranties were and still are just a selling point .
Hey Trev. Great video. The mystery stuff is HAIRSPRAY!
Good shout!
I was just thinking how good his hair is looking. Wish I had used it more in my younger days 😅😂
Your comments on rust is spot on.
Cheers for the tips, fella. You're a top bloke, sharing all your wisdom. Ta mate
One other thing you may want to try: phosphoric acid. It is a rust remover that most products have. A secret to save money is to use a dairy product called MilkStone here in the USA. It has a concentration of acid around 50%. Just spray it and forget.
That's all I do. It converts the Fe2O3 (red rust) to FePO4 (iron(III) phosphate, "black phosphate"). Works very well as far as a passivation coating.
I use it a lot myself
Use this myself 🤙🏻🇬🇧
Mystery product is WD 40.
Tannic acid far better.
See Fertan.
Phosphoric also keeps eating through steel unless it is neutralised.
I'am sitting here weeping. Bought the competitors product at twice the price only a couple of days ago. Now I know thanks to you Trev. Great video as usual.
I’ve done that too, don’t worry, we won’t do it again 😂
Hair spray? that was my first thought... but i could not stop imagining baking birds.
Trev, I’m always amazed at your level of craftsmanship, you’ve helped me on my metal forming journey over the years. By the way, even though it’s a couple years old, I still can’t get enough of that Baking Bird panel van. Expertly done sir.
Mystery spray Pam or other known non stick cooking spray.
Glad to see you working again! Miss your videos!
My guess as well.
As a panel beater said to me... "There are far more bronze age artifacts found than Iron age artifacts... But a bronze vehicle would cost and weigh too much!" 😂🤣
bronze coating ?? electroplating ? still costly but lighter. there are zinc spray paints as well..i used it on a radio tower
Hey Trev good to see ya
I've never seen a rusty sheep, but have seen some brown self-shearing Shetlands.
I reckon the mystery product is Pledge furniture polish.
I think it could be PAM cooking oil spray. Nice to see you back Trev..
I've used RstBusters fuel tank kit, as the tank had developed a pin hole, that was around six years ago and all well.
Mastery furniture polish!
My guess would be anti stick spray for cookie sheets/baking. I've tried Eastwood rust remover gel, vinegar, I forgot what type of acid. Used to clean swimming pools, and concrete. all with mixed results. '57 D100 pickup. Well what's left. Back in the early '80's we combined it with a '69 Fury parts car. It started as a drive train and electrical swap, and then snow balled from there. Welded in the '69 sub frame for torsion bar suspension, which set the newer drive train well into the cut up fire wall. Moving the rear spring pads to the top of the 8 3/4 axle. Before I ramble on to long, I lost my dad 6 years ago, my mom who did the interior last fall. I'm just going back through the truck 40 years later and trying to preserve it.
Great video, Trev! Clear and to the point. Good honest advice, spot on. And I can confirm that Lanolin rust proofing is effective and popular here in Norway.
The Rustbuster Lanolin products offer much better value for money than other Lanolin guards that I've tried. Lanolin is a great rust preventative and resists jet washing.
Look forward to seeing the results.
Congratulations ,another informative vid Trev and a belting experiment to conduct , I have got a curved ball for the viewers , My ole Ford which I repaired the back arches on back in 2019 has started rust through ( you may remember the pictures I sent ),not at the weld either, proper random ,for the record I used epoxy primer after watching your channel, but did not use rust treatment that vid must have gone by me, there was also rust damage that was solid and and I sanded back top shiney metal this has sort of come back but at the same rate so to speak ,real bummer ,even so what confuses me is how it has come out on what was brand new steel.I did the opposite arch 2022 and used the 123 Converter in my prep being updated by then ,that job is still good apart from being a bum match but like I say to people I can't put it back in the can ,only time will tell with that side . Now the big Drawback is this is my winter car so gets some hard graft though i do wash regularly ,or is it just a case of you can take the car out of Chicago but not Chicago out of the car ,she must have seen some action before coming to the UK but for 1973 Still a solid Motor .
PS i think the mystery spray is clear varnish ,we used to use it on the Locos when i was on the railway .
Nice to see you on Friday.
Glad to see you are back with another video Trev😊
Hope you're well!
It would be interesting to know how flammable it is. I have welded many a old car that has been wax oiled or similar and they can be like a tinder box, especially in box sections.
Hi Trev, good to see you again, another good video. Just in case this helps anyone: I have been using Rustbuster products for many years, and in my opinion they are the best on the market, those guys really know what they are doing when it comes to rust prevention. The Fe123 is a good product, but degreasing is the absolute key to how successful it is, also, aqueous degreaser is the only product to use, solvent based degreasers just thin down the oil and embed it deeper into the metal. Aqueous degreaser pulls out the oil in a suspension which is then washed off. I do like the look of the Corrolan, it will be interesting to see how it holds up.
Nice vid Trev . I did a similar thing for Roy's old Merc . Had some pieces of steel and treated them with different mixtures and left them to the elements . Very interesting . Looking forward to your end results .
Good to see you back, Trev. Hi from Australia where rust isn't as huge an issue. I believe the mystery treatment to be olive oil cooking spray.
Furniture polish. Good to see you again. Andy
Looking forward to seeing the conclusion!
A manufacturer in Australia uses a mixture of Lanolin, Fish oil and Tar as a spray on treatment. It has something else in it too because it foams as its sprayed and creeps into lap joints etc and drys black and slightly plyable after several days. Ive been using it for 20 years and cars I repaired and treated all that time ago are still rust free
What is it called as most of the products mentioned aren’t available in Oz
@@ianhilton6015 Made by Knockoutrust in Queensland, the product is called KO66 (knockout 66) Definitely an Ozzy product but obviously quite similar to many good products from all over the world
@@ianhilton6015 MX4 lanox
Also interested in which product mate
I used fish oil , it was way thicker than the modern stuff , it would creep right through a door skin edge or roof seam , admittedly we don't have salted roads but it does work well
Great video and when I checked Rustbusters now have Trev's homebrew for sale :) Will be perfect to keep my old 4Runner on the road.
I think the mystery product is clearcoat rattle can paint. Nice to see another Trev's blog video, keep them coming.
I think the mystery spray is household polish used for furniture etc another great video cheers mark
Your work is great and so are your videos. I can't wait for more rust repair. Your videos help me when I rebuilt my 1970 Ford Mustang coupe. I think your mystery spray is Spray Starch used to iron shirts nice and crisp.
Fluid film or surface shield is lanolin rust protection.
Trev, My guess for the mystery product is ACF-50. Brilliant video and very timely, as I have 3 cars needing treatment with "something" but had baulked at the cost of "ready to use" lanolin products I'd come across, given what a simple product it is. Cheers!
Well done. Very helpful 👌
Mystery stuff could be lacquer Trev great video on rust busting look forward to watching more videos thank you
Hi Trev, I use a earlex paint sprayer I brought from a boot sale, very good. It is like a small vacuum, that blows .
It has a plastic pipe and plastic spray gun .
Great video Trev. I'm going to give it a go myself using these products. I've decided to go with a plant sprayer, because you can reach into corners much easier. Have you got any suggestions for cheap applicator for probing/spraying box sections?
Thank you for the useful insights - love the van!
Great to see a new video Trev. My guess is non-stick cooking spray.
The best product for rust proofing and to actually stop rust is penatroll by PPG it will seep into all box sections and seems better than water 💦 can and drys clear and locks out air all together and will last a lifetime
Look forward to the 6 month review .... Is salt water worse that your garden rust ? How to get the salt off or out of the rust before converting or coating ?
Nice video Trev lot of work, I think mystery spray is cooking oil spray
all the best thanks for sharing all the hard work
Loved this . I wanted to try a Lanolin coating but the cost was too prohibitive. My mystery stuff guess is yacht varnish.
Thanks Trev I’ve been wanting to make my own gives me ideas 👍
The mystery ingredient I recon is hair spray
Welcome Back, Trev!!! Mystery Product...WD40? Glad you're back!!
Great video
Great info Trevor, you know I wonder if attaching zinc blocks on parts you can’t see would work. Like you do on ships / boats as a galvanic protection. Anyways I will use this as you said on schedule base, every half a year of year. Thanks!
Fluid Film or Wool Wax is the best option to prevent rust. I live in the USA rust belt where salt is used heavily. My old vehicles are rust free.
Fantastic work at the end. Subject has never been better presented .I love to see you work with other channels . Dom Chinia eg.
Your sprayer works well
does the turbo thinner compare to anything off the shelf?
Welcome Back! Yank from "the Colonies". Missed you.
Nice video trev, and thanks. Depending on what I'm doing but in the meantime I use WD40 and atf easy to wash off to continue working. As a permanent thing is use after all work is said and done I use tectyl 506 and fish oil about 50/50 great for sills and pillers and roof frames ( internal gutter) cooking oil that's what the mystery spray.
Great video (as usual) but not really a homebrew treatment - just mixing two Rustbuster products. Nothing wrong with that as it appears to be a great product. Looking forward to seeing the results in six months time.
Used another la olí product on myFreelander after I rebuilt the rear end.it’s been highly effective so far the manufacturer recommended waiting a week before driving the car. I work away for 5 days a week so manage that by taking the bus and leaving the Freelander at home until the product had cured properly. It’s an annual application which is fine by me.
I think the secret sauce is clear Lacquer... Great video by the way, very useful for a land rover owner
hi trev, thats interesting, ive jsut mixed waxoil and 20/50 to do my rover 100, and its doing a fantastic job
i think your mystery stuff is a spray grease!
thanks for the vid
Trev I think the mystery spray is ‘ mr Sheen ‘ 👍
Is the mystery spray anti spatter for welding? Great video, just about to treat some rust on the underside of my 4x4!
I'll guess your mystery spray is cooking spray. I have used it under mower decks. For my cars in salty Canada, I mix a toilet base wax ring with summer time chainsaw bar oil, or Canola or other rancid vegetable oils around the house. The wax and oil has to be heated, I use an old tea kettle on an electric stove. Works great. My 2005 Sunfire looks rust free, maybe faded and clearcoat separation. Had to replace some brake lines and repair the subframe, but it is much better than anything else on the road here. After the oil dries up under the car, the toilet wax is still pliable and a bit sticky still.
What in God's name is "toilet wax"??
@@offshoretomorrow3346 Am I your god? It is the sticky wax doughnut that goes under the toilet to seal in the stinky stuff. They are quite cheap. Don't get the one with the plastic funnel molded in. When the undercoating oil rinses away, or evaporates over time, then there is a bit of wax still left. I think it is better than tar or harder coatings which trap moisture and salt. I would still touch up the car every year anyway. I guess now is time again, September, Yuck, I hate doing that.
Hey Trev, glad to see another video!
I'm going to guess that your mystery product is cooking spray - some form of vegetable oil in an aerosol can
Don't know what brands you have there in the UK, one called Pam is common here stateside
Looking forward to more videos, wish you and yours all the best!
As an Aussie, i swear by Lanox, spray it around likes it's free. Works really well, unfortunately it isnt free but it is worth it and easy to get.
Hi Trev, Is the mystery coating fish oil?
I have found it to be extremely effective
Glad to see you are doing fine. I think the mystery spray is WD-40.
As a lapsed scientist I do love a good home experiment! Only 6 months to go 😁
Very interesting video thanks Trev.
Cheers mate, good intel🇦🇺
I just bought a new Citroen van, and much to my surprise, it has no topcoat paint underneath at all. Just seam sealer and what looks like primer. From what I've read and been told by a neighbour who paints cars and vans, it's common now on many vehicles, and was a trend started by Mazda. It has no clear coat over the non visible painted parts (door shuts, etc) either. The Citroen vans don't seem to have a reputation for rusting according to another neighbour who buys and sells lots of them, but nothing over the primer and seam sealer underneath just doesn't seem right. I think I'm going to take all the wheel arch liners out and Waxoyl everything. It's been a long time since I sprayed anything with Waxoyl, but I used a schutz gun , with an empty can I'd filled with Waxoyl, and stood in a bucket of hot water to make it flow before spraying. If it were 6 months in the future, and this was your results video, maybe I'd use lanolin instead.
I wish the mystery product you've used was Waxoyl, as it's make a very interesting comparison.
Hi Trev ! It would be nice if you restore a Trojan , the heinkel kabine...nice , small , just for a tiny place.
There was a NATO formula for rust protection: petrolatum, beeswax, a little mineral spirt melted and sprayed at 250F. A German company is selling basically the same thing. It works better than wax+ mineral spirit because thatvwill eventuallyvdry out and the wax flakes off. I recommend investigating it.

Hello trav, I used to see you online all the time but I haven't seen you in quite a while hope that you're doing well. Love the video
Most the stuff i would have suggested has already been said so im gonna go with duck oil for the mystery spray
Fluid Film is my answer
I think the biggest factor that causes rust is very poor quality steel being used in the first place, then poorly prepared steel before finishing straight from the manufacturers. They make most of their money in the after sales market so its in their interest to use poor quality parts...
10/26/2024👍🏽 hope all is well
Mystery plate has got to be Waxoyl I've also tried Fertan it was almost like molasses none toxic with great results
I think the mystery substance is furniture polish, possibly “Pledge”. Thanks for the video. Glad you got to the ewe before the crows pecked its eyes out. I once found one like that. Not nice. Les
Olive oil 🤷🏼
Fantastic video. I wonder why they use lanolin, what characteristic does it exhibit that others don’t?
Thank you ..................................☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝
could it be cooking spray?
Another great tutorial. Is it WD40?
i'll take a guess at the mystery one being scotch guard,
before you said it wasn't a automotive use i was thinking you would try wd40 because its buy a can and spray it on.
never liked rust converters used to convert rust, i found those products work best same way as a rust killer, by leaving them wet for 24 hours then the rust is 100% gone not encapsulated.
happy wednesday Trev!
Would the mystery material be spray furniture wax?
Keep up the good work Trev, I enjoy all your videos. I know I am not the first to say it BUT I am pretty sure its HAIRSPRAY.
Mystery product ... Mr Sheen.
Stainless screws.. Timkin self tapping ones for metal...
Look forward to the results.👍
Great video and test Trev.
Nice video trev, the mystery product Bee's wax furniture polish
Cooking oil spray (popular brand in US is called "Pam")
Hi Trev. My guess for the mystery product is beeswax furniture polish. Cheers.
Mystery WD40. Awesome test video.
Is the mystery tin/spray Duck oil or wax oil? Either Swarfega or jenolite or an equivalent?
😊 Excellent Trev , DW-40
Welcome back Trev, going for GT-85 😆
Pledge. Years ago I sprayed copious amounts of EP90 gear oil into the box sections of my vx 2300. It left a right mess everywhere I parked.
