I had been using Ford Superseal anti corrosion compound all through the 1980’s until they did away with it in the mid 2000’s

I now use a 3M product and the supplied extension wands to reach into body shell cavities. Is WaxOil still available in the UK? 
I recall that my Father had a couple of cans of that product and used it on his  Triumph Spitfire. But that was in the mid 1970’s.

I think the modern Fiesta would hold up much longer with a few treatments of good quality rustproofing. Especially the front subframe and the rear suspension brackets that are coated instead of painted. The coating is not very durable.

    Yes, the brand is now part of the Akzo Nobel empire but formerly manufactured by Finnigans Specialist Paints in Prudhoe, Northumberland.
