Whats the best brand of 'rust stopper'??
Evening all,
Im just after a product that will convert and seal in the rust I have found around my cars. Something that I can paint on and eventually paint over.
Just surface rust really nothing involving a hole.
Any pointers gratefully received!
Cheers

from what the teachers at TAFE have told me:
rust converter is sort of a 2 edged sword. To convert rust it needs to be corrosive, and sometimes that can be a bad thing and go a bit too far.
oxidisation cant occur without oxygen, so if you seal it completely from the atmosphere it will stop it in its tracks.

Where you can get at the rust, clean it back to bare metal (bright bare metal), etch prime it, primer filler and then top coat.
Where you cant get access to it - such as inside the heater channels and what not, use the rust coverter, fishoil method.
In the UK they spray a wax product inside sills and double skins for rust protection - anyone got any experience with that ?

Doug I have used the wax product in the U.K wax oil.
it is not bad but stays a bit soft and is a bitch as it gets everywhere. There is also a product called body shultz, this is supposed to stop rust
getting at the parts but when it hardens it cracks and allows water underneath.
For the best rust protection, have it blasted and then paint it with POR15.
Cheers
Dave

Yes. I use the Kill Rust primer to paint over their fish oil. No problems so far.

Rust bullet is meant to be the bomb - although not readily available in oz yet. Have contacted them and they say they're negotiating with potential
distributers.
