That product works the same as most other rust-converters on the market. They change iron oxide (rust) into iron phosphate and lock the iron phosphate into a solid coating.
Each of these products will degrade when exposed to the ultra-violet radiation in sunlight so they are really just rust-converting primers. All of them work well. I'm sure the professionals here would recommend removing as much rust as possible before using a converter.
Every time I get a new vehicle I spend some quality time under it and apply a converter to every piece of uncoated steel that is visible. This is followed up with a coat of rustoleum black. I've read warnings on not painting a driveshaft but have had no problems doing so.

Nice...looks like Lou is right...lots of companys producing the equivalent product.
Guess i'll try and figure out the best deal. Thanks folks! Any other links are appreciated. Eastwood prices look pretty good.
