First pass on bed rust removal. The anglehead grinder with the brush is a heavy man-eater! One hour manhandling the grinder and I am whooped for tonight!



1st pass is done WHEW!

You can tell a difference for sure. You might want to stand that thing up on it's end to make it less back breaking.

I am impressed with the OSPHO phosphoric acid rust converter! It turns the rust you cant brush off to iron phosphate (inert and can not rust further)!



After a degreaser wipe-down the bed is ready for bedliner.

Does anyone remember "Naval Gell? It was thick and you brushed it on rusty metal. I think you left it overnight then rinsed it off. The Ospho looks better.

I've used it years ago, we called it Naval Jelly?, don't know if that was the correct name

Yes, that was it "jelly". Don't recommend it on toast. Found it online as a locktite product but it says odorless low voc product so guessing it went the way of the old carburetor cleaners and has no strength now..

Pretty impressive transformation. Will it get duller or is it wet? Pretty cool stuff.
