What not to dinitrol?

I'm planning to dinitrol the chassis on my 110 this weekend. I've never done this before so I was wondering what I shouldn't spray when I'm under there. The brakes obviously, but should I drop the fuel tank out? Can I spray the axles?
Do I need to drill the chassis rails to get the wax inside or are there enough places to get access?
I've already had it cleaned last week, and it's been dry all week so I reckon this is as dry as she'll be this side of Xmas. Now or never!!

I bought a kit from dinitrol themselves. It has stuff for inside and out. I also bought white paper overalls, goggles and gloves. Going to be a messy weekend.

You can get at most places you need to go without too much dismantling. The chassis is peppered with holes like a colander anyway, so there should be plenty to get your nozzle in to treat the inside. I found I could get at all the chassis metalwork reasonably well without taking the tank out. However, I've subsequently fitted an under wing long range tank which does restrict access to the rear crossmember so I gave it a good going over with Dinitrol before the tank went in place because I won't be seeing it for a while.

Worth getting some of their thin and runny stuff up inside the little holes in the bottoms of the doors too, and taking the hinge screws out to get inside the box sections of the bulkhead. I also took the mats up and did the footwells, because they tend to rust out.

It does come off skin eventually. I applied washing up liquid and the green abrasive side of a pan scrubber to my face, arms and neck every day in the shower for a few days and after about a week was the same colour I was when I started. I must have been well exfoliated.

If you get it n the exhaust it doesn't really matter. You just get a nice Dinitrol smell as you drive around.
