It's called seam sealer and made by 3M or Sem as well as others. It come in a caulking tube (best for gutters and exterior seams) or brushable can. It should be available at any professional body and paint supplier. There are several types, be sure what you get is for exterior use and is paintable. You want to put down about an 1/8" thick layer and be sure it fills completely side to side to make a watertight seal.

It's a bit pricy, but a little goes a long ways.
Be sure to wear rubber gloves when you use it or it will turn your hands black which won't wash off. Only use it on rusty surfaces it won't react with clean metal, but it stops rust permanently.
Oh yeah they both had that. I almost bought it but I was reading and it said something about for best results use only rustoleum basecoat paint. and I plan on using a PPG base and clear. Probably would have still worked and it was pricey but not like that Rust Bullet.
