If waxoil is so good, how come that tin on your shelf will have the bottom rusted through by now?
And enough runs down the can to get on the bottom to give it a good coating.
On topic,
scraped all the "powder coating*" flakes off the towbar and smartened it up with black smoothrite.
Fetched the mudshields out, cleaned the rust off the front body mounts, and daubed all the wheelarches with another coat of underseal.
I can't be far off the 1420kg now with all the waxoil, dinitrol hammerite, smoothrite and underseal, and it is still going rusty
*Powder coating is worse than useless under a car, would have been better if it was supplied etch primered, and I'd painted it with smoothrite in the first place.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Its a losing battle to be honest. We do all this stuff to try and prevent it but all we can do is slow the process down a little bit :'(
