Base coat with zinc spray or something containing zinc is used by many and has its followers. Not sure if I agree that it is galvanizing but it sure helps as the zinc will react with the steel so the zinc depleats and corrodes instead of the steel. The zinc is sacrificial to the steel.
But only for so long as there is not that much zinc. so with the extra layers on top it will be fine, but not alone. 

Very nice too see good and proper work done no matter what stuff is used.

I am more of a oily paint kind of guy but I have used zinc base coat too.

others also use two component base coats, some use acid base coat and some like me use oil based all the way with wax or bitumen on top.

Either way the most important thing is to do something, do many layers, and not just let it go untreated.

Rust never sleep so sooner or later it will need treating again and again.

I was assuming he was referring to real galvanising TBH, I didn't know "spray on" galvanising was possible, but in this context that makes more sense.
 

It was the spray on one, not the "real" one

Spray on Galvanizing is Just one step up from American powder coating when it comes to rust prevention in my book.
It also says some sort of wax wich is good and the combo is very good.

Real Galvanizing is dipping the complete part in heated acid and then heated zinc.
Wich in some cases will warp a car frame.

I got my trailer frame dip galvanized, wich went fine because I boxed it off to prevent the warping. And I was prepared it might get warped.
 

Regarding the wax, i am not sure what type is it, the idea is to put it inside all the chassis legs and holes to prevent rust from the inside
