Anyone use rust reformer, like Rustoleum rust reformer on the under carriage or inside doors to stop the rust? or is that the lazy man's way to deal with rust? I used it on our van back hatch that rusted through but had to fill and sand it down. It looks decent now but I'm sure not an expert painter. wouldn't try it on Ian, ha,ha |rollysmile| |cheers|

POR-15 was my choice when working the interior of the 'Money Pit'. Worked really well on the floor pans.

Eastwood has a page full of "rust resolution" products. I like 'em. Been using this technology on cars and boats for the past 15 years with no disappointments.

Daniel , that's the same change I saw too. I was so amazed that is why I posted the question about it since I saw no other posts about rust reformer.
By the way without dial up,but with dsl, the pictures are great but I have to agree with Jim on decreasing the size. and he helped me with posting pictures too.
By the way I see the posts are for hidden areas How about the frame or underside ?

Has anyone ever attempted to restore the inside of the frame? I stuck my finger inside some of the frame breather holes and discovered quire a bit of rust and sand. I would like to stop the bleeding where it lies before It gets too far.

I was thinking of using some compressed air to blow out as much debris as I can and then sending some sort of round wire brush on the end of a snake type object loaded into a drill to try to clear out some of the surface rust.

Then i was going to attempt to spray some rust converter up there and finally some undercoat spray.

Obviously there is no room to move in there so all these ideas are going to be hampered by some real physics I am sure.

My question, has anyone else attempted something like this?
