rust-converter

[lucamarzana]

Hi,

here I am again. Well, I was going to order a rust-converter to brush the underbody of my car after taking rust away but......Dinitrol..Waxoyl...Kurust....there is a jungle out there! Someone in the forum talked even about Jenolite.
What should I get?? I am not asking which is the best, probably they are all ok, but...did someone of you use these products? Which would you suggest? Sorry for bothering for this apparently boring question but all these products are almost unknown here...

thanks, as usual,
Luca

Jenolite is a water-based solution of phosphoric acid.
Brush it onto the bare chassis to neutralise or 'kill' any remaining rust and help to prevent it returning.

Finnegans Waxoyl is similar to underseal in that it is used to protect the bare metal. It is easier to apply than conventional underseal because it spreads more easily. Also, it is flexible and does not crack. There are two types. The black stuff that you paint on the underside of your chassis and the clear stuff that you spray into cavities.

ok, is there anything thats best to apply before any paint gets on the bottom when respraying, and the car is on its side......

Jenolite.

[Matt]

Matt.
My 'Jenolite' reply was on the basis that you are going to apply paint to the bare metal. If you clean off the rust and then treat the metal with Jenolite (and let it dry completely) before painting then it should stop the metal rusting underneath the paint.
A painted chassis can be damaged by stone chips and then it will rust.
Some people apply underseal and then put paint on top of that. (But not if they want to win at concours I suspect!)

i dont' want to win concours..... i was thinking of a rust converter, then stonechip, then paint then schultz (ik think thats how its spelt.....)

I've used jenolite on rusty bits, and if used to the instructions the results are great in my experience.
