Any advice?

Are car products for same will work fine? Some of them have wax in them they good or try to find without wax?

Good quality car cavity wax should also work fine, brands like Teroson for example.

Linseed oil mixed with mineral spirits inside the frame tubes.

This Zombie Thread is worth a read. Make sure you scroll through to the end.

(If you just want a product name, and don't want to be bothered reading through that thread: Try Corrosion Block. I haven't tried it, personally, but that's what I plan to use the next time I treat a frame.)

Been using Boeshield T9 with good result.

Fish oil.

To be honest, any anti-corrosion product is better than nothing.

Linseed oil with mineral spirits (to improve initial flow and coverage of the linseed oil) would be like bicycle concours correct for say a pre-80's resto. Linseed oil is/was recommended for garden and carpenter tools, BITD, if me remembers correctly.

I'm going to get flak for this...
 
Has anyone actually had a frame fail from internal corrosion? I think the concern may be overblown.

Yes, I've seen some bikes rust through. From things stuck down the seat tube to make it collect water. And there was one honestly-rusted-through frame in a thread a few months back, in southeast Asia, I think. Looked like it had lived a very hard life, perhaps always outdoors or laid on the floor of a leaky shed. But your average frame, well cared-for? I doubt it's a concern.
