Waxoil will do the job, messy but effective, I do mine every two years.

Plus jet wash very frequently.

Just look for the yellow tin in halfords normally in the body prep section.
They sell a spray gun for it that fits onto the tin, best heat the tin up in hot water to soften it up to spray better.
I do tend to paint it on though, but get some protection for the ground :lol:
Remember to wire brush everything off underneath first, take a whole day for it.

And yes its very messy :lol: :lol:
