I use Bilt Hamber Dynax UC on surface, I don’t want to have to retreat every year. I did a 1998 Toyota RAV4 with Hammerites Shutz with inbuilt Waxoyl it has a black satin finish each treatment lasted 5 years before any parts needed a bit more applying. The Shultz finish looked great, perhaps a bit of Lanoguard every 3 years would have been sufficient to keep it also looking cosmetically immaculate underneath...
I use bilt hamber hydrade 80 and then bilt hamber Dynax -uc that combination seems to keeps the rust at bay , on my 7 year old 82,000 mile Q90 Renault Zoe
Done same with my Audi TT. Buffed all rust off then treated with Hydrate, painted and then Dynax. Now if I do any repair on my car such as brake pads, I will treat any rust I see and then wax over again to keep on top of things.
Does the Hydrate-80 not turn black/blue like some other converters? Just for info, from speaking with Bilt Hamber they advise against using rust converters inside cavities. Looking forward to seeing an update.
Just wondered if it would be better or easier to spray the hydrate 80 with a garden sprayer or similar, maybe it would go into hard to reach areas a bit better, I am looking at doing this so I haven't tried it yet, just an idea.
I have successfully used a glass cleaner spray bottle with Hydrate 80. It sprays very well and you can apply just enough to turn the rust to a phosphate. It actually goes further than using a brush if you do that. I'm going to do just as this video says and do my Defender steel areas first with Hydrate 80 and then followed by a Lanolin spray everywhere.
I've got some corrosion on my konas disk brakes through living on the coast and lack of use. They stick occasionally. Dealer just wants max profit to replace them all. What should I ask an independent mechanic to do to try extend their life?
Bilt Hamber Atom Mac amzn.to/3RDWiwC is a great product for stopping corrosion on brakes. You dilute this from 2%-5% in water and spray onto surfaces to be protected and in any cavities. So the 500ml bottle will last ages. Its a product that you can use on car brakes. Also, do some hard braking at speed to keep the discs and pads clean and moving. Atom Mac How To Use: Dilute from 2 - 5% in water and spray onto surfaces to be protected. Atomise onto brake discs and surfaces after washing the vehicle and allow to dry (use 1-2% in water on motorcycles and bicycles and 5% on cars with disc brakes). Atomise into voids to protect interior surfaces at a rate of 2ml (of neat product) per litre of space. Atom-Mac should be diluted to 2- 5% to neutralise corrosive winter road salt and sprayed liberally on vehicle undersides this rate also provides invisible protection to bicycles, machinery tools and equipment. To use following Deox-C or Deox-GEL, or blast cleaning treatment, 2% added to the rinse water is sufficient to eliminate flash corrosion and protect the treated item. Sealing in a plastic bag or container traps the migrating corrosion inhibitors and adds further protection. Atom-Mac can be used in pressure washers and can be applied to the entire underside where it will neutralise road salt and emit power corrosion inhibitors. It should be applied at the end of each wash. Even wet cars can be put into storage allowing the migratory inhibitors to protect the entire vehicle. Aim for 2% Atom-Mac strength from the pressure washer nozzle.

I'm going to have a look at Dynax-UC.

Get ready to do it all again in less than a year . Lanoguard just doesn’t cut it

Hydrate 80 is blue to start with, then dries black when on the rusty metal.
That's what I thought, it just seems there is a lot that hasn't gone that way particularly around 12.24 mark. Perhaps you didn't apply it everywhere?

Its a bit too thick to spray. I assume it could be watered down with something. Best to speak to Bilt Hamber and ask.
@@GoGreenAutosOK, fair enough, I think I am going to get some and if it's too thick to spray I will have to go back to using a brush.
I just had a look on their website and it says it can be painted or sprayed, they don't mention thinning it down.

@@GoGreenAutos Thank you very much 👍
Hammerite expensive €35 can underbody gun great compressor welding very expensive €700 hundred euro
Was everything ok when you got home smelling of wet sheep? 😂
:-)
Is that a Sheepish grin? 😂@@GoGreenAutos
Hammerite best stuff
