Looking under our SZ5 l am still not 100% sure it needs extra wax based products squirting on the chassis etc
The inside of the box sections seems to already have a coating of something and l assume the outer panels are galvanised.
However it obviously won't do any harm to do it, if it makes you feel better.
l've done some spraying of wax under ours, with a product that doesn't dry out like the wax oil l used to use on my Land Rover.

Have a look under the jack.
There were rust spots bubbling through the paintwork on mine and its not had a hard life in the short time I've had it.

Update
l checked under the jack on our 2020 Jimny and there's some sort of bitumous coating, sprayed over in body colour, so unlikely that rust will come through there.
