Have you thought about using industrial/marine grade products?
Altex Coatings (where i work) have a couple of different options.

single pack version - RIPO(rust inhibiting protective oil)
http://www.altexcoatings.co.nz/vdb/document/417
thin penetrating liquid for use in Interior of doors and panels etc.
$28.50 per litre = about 30SQ/M per litre

or:
two pack version - Altra Lock 577 (rust and crevice sealer)
http://www.altexcoatings.co.nz/vdb/document/413
penetrates surface rust , crevices, plate laps etc.
3 to 1 mix ratio
$48 per 1L kit = about 33 SQ/m per litre

both can be (and really should be) top coated, ripo with High build rust barrier.
577 with altra shield2000 or Altra build 536

check the Altex website for more info.

Yeah POR15 works perfectly if you use it correctly.

Anything other than proper use and its no better than any other product. Thats why unless you can make sure the surfaces are clean etc I wouldn't bother using it in hard to get to places. If you can clean/prep the surface, its great.

Product I have used many times over with very good results is Blackguard.

Can be brushed on, rolled on or sprayed on

I opted for the brush on option, left to dry and then primed straight over the top

Wurth make a product called "cavity protection spray" which is the yellowy waxy stuff manufacturers use when they build cars

could get a can or two of that and go to town on the hidden areas which will seal them off

It is made by Valvoline and sold in NZ.


Arrgh, thats the stuff that is crap, it dries out and cracks, moisture gets in the cracks and rusts from my experience.

A smelly car is a small price to pay for a lifetime of non rustyness imo
