chassis wax

The Discovery appears to suffer from the same chassis corrosion as my Defender so I've spent some time cleaning the underside and filling the chassis sections with wax. I'm not too keen to underseal the surface but I've treated the surface rust and I'm thinking about regularly spraying the underside with a moisture displacement spray.
What do you do to keep chassis corrosion away?

On my both land rover (Defender Puma and D4) I done a Waxoyl (clear type) treatment!

The defender is 9 years old now and it's like new (the frame i mean), no rust at all

Going by mine I reckon the chassis will last well even with no treatment for many years, what is going to fail if you dont look after it is the inner and outer sills.
Well worth the effort of removing the sill covers and getting some treatment on there whilst can.

Be a good idea to spray the brake pipes.

Motorcycle aerosol chain spray lube is very good for brake pipes and any localised rust, sticks like the proverbial and when i went to do it again this year it was all still greasy/oily but did it again anyway!
