Rust removal on frame?
Any recommondations for removing rust (products) from the frame and other parts.
I just bought an 08 SD F250 4x4 here in Az last night and it came from Ohio. There are a few parts that have some rust on them and I would like to get them cleaned up and recoated with some type of preventer.
Thanks
Joe

POR15 Depending how much, they now have the stuff in spray cans, or quarts. Follow their directions and use metal prep and rust be handled. We've done the whole fleet and are very pleased. Be warned: plastic on the floor and coveralls on you, because once dry, it is not coming off. Www.por15.com

POR15 requires a topcoat. It is not UV stable. it is very useful for floorboards and areas that won't see sunlight.
You might try something like Rust Bullet. It is a better option for exposed to UV.

Rust bullet works great on new sand blasted metal.. Other than that it will rust again even if you needle scale the rust off. I never found any coating that works real well. Thats why I went to waxoyl..

Since we usually try to keep our fleet on the tires, and not upside down, we've had no problems with UV on the frames.

I used Zero-Rust on my 55 chassis.. they have a rust neutralizer. similar to Rust Bullet and POR15. ZR does not require a topcoat, but supports one.
De-scale it to get the loose junk off, neutralize it, and paint over.
ZR also comes in rattle can, I HATE brushes..
ZR does NOT require sandblasted metal.

I spray my underbodies with diesel waste oil and let the truck sit for a couple days to drip off. Kills the rust and because diesel waste oil is so black it leaves a nice black look. Rust never comes back, it lubricates bushings, springs, joints, etc. It works great.

We clean, touch up, and reapply Fluid Film before the snow flies.
