Triumph Herald Rust-proofing

["Jeremy Green" <JGREEN@CSFBG.CSFB.COM>]

Hello,

I have recently purchased a 1965 Triumph Herald Convertible.  The car is
currently in good condition with minimal rust.

I have been trying to get advice on measures that can be taken to prevent the
car from rusting.  One suggestion is to wire-brush the underside of the car and
spray the metal, and door panels, with WaxOl or some other protective oily
coating.  This did sound like good advice to me, although it has since been
commented that in doing this and rust that remained will work its way through
the metal without detection.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks,

Jeremy Green
