patch panel has rust?
What to do with a patch panel that has surface rust? I have used a disc sander on it but there is still some left behind, very light pit marks. I would like to use the patch because the fit is great. Dont know where it came from it was in a truck that i bought. So i do i get it out other than sand blasting? Then panel is a pass rear cab corner. Thanks RT

I'll echo the phospheric acid type wash (which is what POR-15 metal ready is).. I think another name brand I have heard of is Naval Jelly.

I was watching Power Block TV the other day and I think it was on Muscle Car, they used a bath solution of distilled water and baking soda and connected the part to a battery charger. It cleaned the part down to bare metal, looked interesting. Try looking on their web site.
Good luck

Phosphoric acid (phospheric?) , Por 15 metal ready, ..
What paint prep for 2 stage b/c coat? water rinse?
I've been reading stuff about this procedure for rust removal...
What prep is required before application of an etching primer??
Home Depot/Lowes is supposed to be carrying Ospho..same sort of stuff...Don't mean to be hijacking this thread RT , but I think it kinda answers your question,and set's up the next..

It's usually in the laundry section. Here's several links on the subject, the last one is best:
Link One
Link Two
Probably the best one, with pictures: Link Three
It's a great way to remove rust, doesn't take ANY metal away, will not take of good chrome (will take it off, if rusted underneath), nor most paints.

The bubbles are going strong as we speak, its been in there since 6:00 pm yesterday and the rust has turned black and falling off. I also hit it with a wire brush some. I took some pics and will post them soon.
