I did a load of research on corrosion protection when restoring my mga in summary:
They both have a similar ingredients, the difference being Waxoyl is a wax based with white spirit as the carrier and Dinitrol is a grease based grease with oil as the carrier. Both have applications and uses where they perform better over the other.
Dintrol will penetrate more, Waxoyl adheres better and generally lasts longer, both are only as good as the preparation and application, neither provide brilliant long term abrasion protection.
Waxoyl would be my preference on cleaned or newly restored surfaces, Dintrol where access is restricted so a clean surface can't be guaranteed. Waxoyl requires more effort to apply it especially in cooler temperatures, one has to warm things up.
There is no silver bullet product when it comes to corrosion protection!

I've used Waxoyl and Dinitrol in the past, but have settled on a third option - Bilt-Hamber's Dynax waxes. In my experience they seem to work well and are easier to apply than Dinitrol or Waxoyl - many times easier than Waxoyl, which I can't say I like at all, but that's just me...
I agree with Dave that there's no "silver bullet" - preparation is key whatever you use, as is committing to regular inspection and re-treatment. |
