and trap all that nasty rust underneath?  :o
Try POR Marine Clean, POR Metal Ready, and POR15 Anti Rust Enamel. A little expensive, but a proven remedy for your problem. I have seen all of the above used together and it's quite amazing really. |

The only way to get rid of rust is to actually get rid of it. Take to the floor with a wire brush and strip the rusted areas back to bare metal. Then you car treat it appropriately with a number of products. Covering up rust is a loosing battle. Not only does it not work, you can't see how bad it gets. |

wire wheel is good for getting rid of surface and flaky rust but for rust thats dug into the metal get the grinder out and grind it out completely. i believe that the rust converters are good but run on the assumption that if theres any rust that you covering (even treated and convered rust) then its more than likely gunna come back in time. i suggest getting rid of all rust completely, welding in new pieces if needed, then hit it with an epoxy primer and go from there with whateva you want to cover it (whether its fish oil or bitumen sealer or whatever) |

fish oil is preventative maintenance... not a cure for existing problems. ONLY apply fish oil over a top coat... not a primer. It will ruin a primer and make top coats resist it, rather than stick to it. |
