The problem is that Garages are no longer allowed to do this for you, do to His Toniness and health and safety knobheads, so we have to do it our selves.
Tips
1, Do it with nearly no fule in, slacken off tank straps, and you get access to the top of the tank, a real salt trap.
2, Make sure you spray the full length of the Brake and Fuel line cluster as the MKII has the Nickle Zinc removed to save cost. so a good coating here is really a good idea.
3, Despite the fact that it.ll get on the exhaust and smaell for the first 50 miles as it burns off, give the Chassis rails, and rear inner arches a good going over.
4, If you get time, get the door cards off inside and smear handfulls and I mean handfulls of Vaseline, or similar on the inside of the door skins, Rover deleted the inner door final coatings to save cost (it's a wonder they went bust the amount of £'s they pulled back out from cars no longer made to BMW specs).
5, Look out for a MKI Exhaust for Your MKII, as the MKI was made of 441 grade stainless, and Tower made the Chassis boys go back to Galvanised MS so they rust through by 4 years old, usually from inside out.
Hope this helps.
