I have been using Corroless for 10 or 12 years, and it works better than
anything I have ever seen to stop rust. I have only used the brush-on
type, and it is like red oxide primer paint. It can be topcoated with
other paint, but does not have to be. The first time I ordered Corroless
(from a distributor in Texas that services the off-shore oil rig industry),
they sent along two small complementary bottles of something called
"Cortrol Wax". This stuff was dark brown, waxy, and much heavier than
Waxoyl, but could be thinned to the consistency of Waxoyl. I used it to
cover battery terminals and nuts and bolts that I didn't want to rust
together again. Normal Corroless is a paint, and is now available in an
aerosol spray, but I'm sure the manufacturer also has a product similar to
Waxoyl. I don't believe Eastwood carries the waxy stuff.

that at least one of their products called Corroless isn't so much like
Waxoyl, but rather is more of a chemical conversion rust stabilizer that
goes on like a primer coat. It comes in either spray cans or liquid
pints/quarts for brush-on, or maybe it can be sprayed with a sprayer. It
leaves a red/brown indicator color coat to show coverage. No serious rust
removal or metal prep, according to Eastwood. Just put it on and the rust
quits rusting. It doesn't seem to be waxy, though. I think you are supposed
to be able to paint over it. Maybe they have another "Corroless' product
that IS waxy? I didn't finish reading the catalog yet.

is the only citiation anybody has seen. Just a possibility.
