Sounds like a major ingredient is carnauba wax.

Can you describe your version of a Schutz gun? I have this sprayer thing,
and I *can* get a schutz gun for use with rubber / asphalt undercoat but
I'm not sure if it's the same deal.

As before, we can get rubberized or asphalt undercoating. It ranges in
price but is easy to get. The most expensive stuff is paintable. I can
get it in liquid or spray-bomb form. I don't think it is compatible with
Waxoyl but it does a *fairly* good job of rust prevention. The downside
one my car was that moisture crept in through the tops of the seams (where
the chrome beading is) and was held in by the massive lumps of undercoat
that had been slung up in the fenderwells. I will most certainly do a
better job when the fenders go back on ;-)
