Waxoyl is quite a bit different than POR-15.

It's a wax based product that has rust inhibitors in it.  I've been told that
bar and chain oil for chainsaws is similar.

When used as an undercoating, you will need to renew it every few years.  The
wax will dry out, but it can be renewed if you overcoat it with more.  It
prevents rust and repels water.  If you already have rust, I don't think this
would help much.

POR-15 is applied over rust to seal it off.  Waxoyl may be a good product to
top coat over POR-15.
