normally...., yes a good going over with wire brush to remove loose rust, after removing as must rust as possible, a painting of a corrosion stabilizer like (aquasteel) can help,
the waxoyl in a tin you paint brush on appears much thicker than a spray and therefore maybe more protective than a spray ? , i only spray it if i can’t get a brush there , i’ve been doing mine for the last 7 years
Ok thanks mate mine been in country a year now and still looks really good , but it needs protecting do you take anything off like exhaust etc or avoid spraying anything
i have left virtually every thing on , if i catch the exhaust i just wipe it off , the rear bumper on my fsti i spray and brush in there , it’s worth taking off the plastic trim under the engine sump so you can treat around there , arches front and rear get a good glob of the stuff , the only bits i take off are wheels so i can do the wheel arches , worth covering brake pipes etc , i check my sealent every year but don’t often have to do any thing , main point is pick a period of dry days to do it , mine is an 2004 with around 155 k miles on it it’s still very clean underneath , i bought an 05 fsti too which has been in the uk for less time and the older one is in a better state , don’t forget jacking points they are prone to rusting as paint gets rubbed off , you can buy rubber jacking bushes/puks on ebay for around 5£ or so
I use the Bilt Hamber products on my import Legacy, in fact on the last two imports.
If I find any rust I paint on some Hydrate 80 first then follow up with the various Dynax waxes. Cheaper than a garage and just as good.
£150.00 but i use it on both cars. as they are imports and keepers i think its worth it
Below is a picture taken of the our black wagon wrx with the bumper removed,14 years of winters and no rot anywhere . topped up yearly where necessary. see for sale section, if you what a nice example.

Mine doesn't seem to have any on at the moment. It is very clean and want to keep it that way so I am trying to make an informed decision on what to do.

4 cans cavity wax
4 cans underbody wax
comes in 500ml aerosols
use anything thats been mentioned they have all been used over the years.
if you have access to a compresor you can buy it in 1 litre cans, to use with a schulz gun, its much cheaper this way.
try to get it done, as road salt is your enemy, it will be a shame not to if its good underneath.
