It depends what surface it's going on. eg - for previously stripped rusty surfaces I treat with Dinitrol Converust, then spray with their Underbody Wax 4941 and Cavity Wax 3125. Then retreat with the Waxoyl/Engine oil brew mentioned below.
For areas which need more protection I use Ronseal No Rust - which I've used on boat trailers for years and it's the best I've found at keeping rust at bay. It doesn't go brittle or chip like other products.
For general use my favourite stuff is good old Waxoyl mixed 50/50 with clean cheap 20W50 engine oil. Warm it up and either spray or brush it on. By itself Waxoyl doesn't seep into rust so it tends to sit on the surface and doesn't prevent oxygen getting into the metal. But mixed with engine oil it does the job just as well as the expensive branded products. It's a dirty job but done annually you get to inspect the underside for damage and spot problems before they get serious.
