Mudguard Rust Proofing Recommendations Please

(1/3) > >>

andut:
I now have some nice new shiny bits to bolt on, so before I do, what would people recommend for preventing / reducing rust underneath mudguards - Waxoyl, Por15, paint, others  ?

totty:
I prefer to remove/treat rust them paint, but just scrubbing the loose of and waxoyling it is an option. I use ACF50 on the outer surfaces, I'm not a fan of polishing so some corrosion protection is needed.

petermigreen:
For mudguards, a method I was introduced to was to pack the crevices beneath brackets etc. with grease. I then used spray wax oil on the whole underside of the mudguard.
HTH.

Laverda Dave:
I've used a product called 'Zinga' before. I coat all crevices and exposed threads with it. Its a brush on zinc type coating used by electricians to protect the cut ends of galvanised conduits to stop them rusting. I'm not sure if you can still buy it but try an electrical retailer like Wholesale Fittings, or RS Components they may stock it. I work on the underground and I've never seen conduit corrode when this product is used. The tube can be a harsh environment with damp and humid conditions.
