Re:
Do you mean something like Waxoyl for cars? I'm assuming it's a steel frame, intit?
Get a wee can o' it fae Halfrauds or motor factors. It would dae the same job but no at special bike bits prices.

Re:
Robbo, though I am having trouble understanding exactly what it is you're all on about, language barrier and all that, I dug out what I've been using for about 12 years (same can still on the go!) and it's 'Supertrol', similar to Dinitrol, and was chatting to a mate from the aircraft industry in the...ahem....pub....the other weekend and he was saying it's what they've been using on aircraft parts for years.
So, personally, I would go with that. Never had a frame rot out yet. Not that I ever keep them for long enough to find out, obviously.

Re:
Sorry Kaz, will write this bit in English.
Dinitrol is or was a rust preventative for car chassis from way back like Waxoyl. No experience of Dinitrol but did Waxoyl a car way, way back in the past. As it's name says it's an oily wax that will coat the inside of car chassis and stop rust. Remember spraying it from a pressurised container similar to a plant/garden sprayer with a small diameter tube to get into chassis cavities. Waxoyl needed to be warmed up so it would flow and coat the metal better but it didn't actually "set" but remained soft.

Re:
Received and understood!
I always do my 'supertroling' on a hot summer's day and turn the frame frequently to coat every inner surface, until it runs out of the breather holes. Or use a hair dryer. But keep away from carpets/wooden flooring/mother's in law for obvious reasons.....
What are you trying to achieve Rob, rust proofing/prevention, or treat a frame that already has a rust issue...?
