Epoxy mastic is one of the best things you can paint on the underside of your car.  Follow it up by a Dinitrol product.

The £25 starter pack goes a very long way.

Forget Waxoyl and Hammerite it's sh*te

Is Dinitrol really that much better than hammerite products?

I've always found Waxoyl products difficult to apply and almost always need an annual 're-coat'.  Hammerite paints sucks on anything that is exposed on the underside.  I've used POR 15 paints which is much better than Hammerite but still doesn't last long.  Now using Epoxy mastic on the underside and as base on any repair work and it takes some beating.

Dinitrol chassis and cavity wax products always apply better and last much longer than Waxoyl in my experience.
