Default Rustproofing

What is the best stuff to use? I have got waxoyl at the moment but it seems too runny for use under arches and under the car it just gets washed off. Is dintrol any better? Thanks in advance, jonny

Think it stays soft so it doesnt chip off like paint would when it gets hit by small stones n stuff.
This might be nonsense aswel.

Waxoyl is to be used in the cavities, underseal is used on the arches.

Also, any rust proofing is pointless if the rust is in the metal. It needs to be repaired first, then rust proofed.

I did inside the boot and inner arches 3 weeks ago and its still very soft so I think it would last 5 mins under the car. What is the best underseal to use then?
