Rustproofing 110

[defendercr]

I just purchased a new 2006 110 and I am taking delivery next week. It is located in Costa Rica so I am a little limited in my options, but can anyone give me some advice on rust prevention for this truck? (yes, I did say 2006. The dealer is a little behind and they are just now receiving their 2007's)

I've trusted a product called corrosion X on airplanes I fly for years. It works great. i'm not sure where you are looking to apply the product, but you can't beat this stuff for bare metal and under-carriage type places, however I have a 95 D-90 that has never been rust-proofed and shows virtually no signs of rust, I guess it's better to take the offensive though!

I had a product called Waxoyl applied to the undercarriage of my D-90 and very happy with the results. I would highly recommend you check it out.

Thanks, do you know asource for Waxoyl in the US?

Waxoyl is available through lots of places, but our hosts should be your first choice. The aircraft product ACF-50 is the very same stuff, available from aircraft maintainace suppliers, and in bulk is more cost effective (though still expensive). It is the product the Coast Guard uses on the C-130s based in Kodiak AK, where it's 'known' to be wet.

Support our hosts and buy the product from them but I would strongly recommend having a professional apply it for you. Where are you located? We can find you someone.

The truck is currently in Costa Rica, but I will have it in Texas in the fall.
