hi sorry to hear your corrosion woes no you cant use waxoyl or indeed anything like next to fiberglass, the problem is that the fibres that will invariably be exposed on the rough side will leach fluids down into the substrate by capillary action this is especially true of waxoyl whose intention is to creep into crevices, this includes oil / water, visit any marine forum and you will read countless threads regarding water creeping into the fibres, ok so in theory if you painted resin onto the rough side you may well seal it but there is still the problem that waxoyl is quite a potent chemical, i spent days (literally) scrubbing off the waxoyl o put on and in my chassis tubes on the spaceframe of my 2+2 for this very reason, my advice would be to try something else, im unfamiliar with the structure of the H4 but maybe a wash out with Deox -C to remove the rust and a coat of por 15 on the steel? yes Deox-c is water based and you would need months to dry properly but por 15 adheres very well to both bare steel and fiberglass, just my advice
