I have a question.
If this is to be applied on a painted surface such as a metallic finish on a luxury SUV, is this safe? Will the paint also react to the solution and thus come off and turn into the paint-able black surface shown here?The area in question is very small, maybe about 2 centimeters in width and about 2 millimeters in height.
Thank You in advance.

POR 15: A dent in reputation
So, how do you choose a rust prevention product which is best for your car? Well, if you compare the market leader Rust Bullet with its competitor POR 15, the Rust Bullet will clearly emerge as the leader! Rust Bullet is simply a path breaking product offering outstanding rust prevention services. It is just what you need to protect your valuable investment.
Modern day rust prevention is a dedicated task and entails a host of activities. Most so called rust paints still use the old technology POR 15 is not equipped to adapt a holistic approach to rust prevention services. It offers a very superficial protection against rust without attacking the root cause of it. The ordinary impression left by POR 15 on your car surface further dents its reputation.
Another chink in the armor of POR 15 is its inability to protect the metal surface against harmful UV Rays of the Sun. For this particular reason it is difficult to leave POR 15 exposed to Sun without applying a UV resistant clear coat over the top of it, thus causing an additional expense. The compatibility of POR15 with the environment is also questionable as it may contain substances which can damage the environment. Rust Bullet is environmentally friendly.
Enter Rust Bullet! The product comes as a New Technology to the world of rust prevention products. It is specifically designed keeping in mind the inhibition of rust as well as the impact on our environment! The two patents awarded to Rust Bullet by the US Government speak for the product. It is a revolutionary product which makes rust prevention an orderly task.
Rust Bullet requires little or no surface preparation. The product can be applied directly to the surface of a rusted surface. It can be easily applied using a brush or a roller providing great adhesive strength. Rust Bullet’s unique technology kills rust permanently unlike rust converters. The product is also UV resistant and does not require a top coat.
Rust Bullet is VOC compliant and does not pose any threat to the environment. The product is free from lead, zinc, chromates and heavy metals it is well known for being environmentally friendly. It is simply the perfect way to care for your car and ensure that rust never takes away that charming look from your beloved car!

How To Install A Roll On Truck Bed Liner And Save Money
Do you need a bed liner for your truck? There are lots of choices. There are plastic drop in, rubber, and rug… all different varieties. But if you want a good, permanent bed liner, look no further than a roll on truck bed liner.
A roll on liner is like thick textured paint that is applied to a prepped truck bed. Different methods are used to paint the liner on. An inexpensive way to do it is with a paint roller, which makes it a roll on truck bed liner!
Now, how should you install your bed liner? There are several options. First, you could have your liner professionally installed. Second, you could install it yourself. If you choose the second option, there are several different brands of liquid bed liner paint to choose from.
Herculiner
Duplicolor
Plasti-Kote
And othersThere are kits available that have all of the necessary things you need for lining your truck bed. Although the kit is a great way to get what you need for lining a new bed, it probably won’t have everything you need to line your older truck. There are some other things that you will need.
Rust converter
Sandpaper
Spray cans of primer (optional)
Masking tape
Newspaper
RespiratorBefore priming and installing your liner, it is a good idea to mask around the edges of the bedrails on your truck. When you do this, you also need to tape some newspaper on the sides of your truck to keep the primer and liner from getting on the paint.
If there is rust in your truck bed, it is a good idea to sand these areas especially well. Rust converter helps to wipe out rust, and some brands even turn into primer! It’s still a good idea to use regular primer after you’ve given the rust converter a chance to work.
Once you have your truck prepped, all you have to do is put the liner on and let it dry… and you’re done!
Now you have a good, textured bed liner. If you ever rub the liner off in places, all you have to do is lightly sand and repaint the area.
A roll on truck bed liner is not for everyone. But there are things that make this liner a good choice.
It’s protective, permanent, easily repaired, good looking, and a rewarding DIY project.So, if you want to protect your truck, enjoy a weekend project, and have people compliment you on your truck, why not get started?

I can’t find these flexi pads in America.
Re RustRoy… is it not Phosphoric Acid? Thoughts on that instead?

snakeoil24
Like the flex grinder pads alot, but maybe the drill bits need a bit of help. Carbide air tool bit might work faster.

Trendyrapslut my man you are 100% correct
all windshield apatures are painted, to prevent rusting
then on the painted surface, either a glue for a thermo eletric
wind screen seal or a primer on the glass &
painted opening for a urethane seal kit .

fashioned rubber seal, -
Trendyrapslut

I’ve been told about the discs too. Although I haven’t tried one, I can see that wire brushes don’t work as well as they probably should.

retrogazele
cool..no i havent tried them..maybe there better..i like you videos man..so next one should be preparing bare metal for primer..didnt really understand the last bit with the stuff you put on..cheers

wagner03mustang
great video

restolad
have you tryed both methods ???
i dont bother with a rotary wire brush any more , they are very slow at removing oxide (rust)
the wires blunt and fold over, which results in heating the panel and glazing the oxide ,.
modern products are available- EG stripping wheels and flexible discs. give them a try -
fx451Jockey
Not seen these flexible discs before, may give them a try.
Just a shame your camera will not focus close up

retrogazele
why dont you get a hard metal brush..put it on your drill and do the whole thing easier..?

Mar-Hyde – One-Step Rust Converter Primer Sealer, 10 oz. aerosol (3509)
- Chemically reacts to convert rust into a hard black primer sealer
- 10.25 oz. Aerosol
Mar-Hyde One-Step Rust Converter Primer Sealer chemically reacts to convert rust into a hard, black primer sealer. Apply One-Step on rusted surfaces and rust is permanently converted and ready for primer and topcoat. One-Step Rust Converter Primer Sealer is a water-based latex containing rust modifiers, which is designed for application directly over tightly bonded rust on iron or steel. Also proven effective on new degreased or mild steel where flash-rusting has occurred. Shortly after application, the rusted surface will change form white to purple to a stable black coating. A uniform black coating indicates the complete conversion of the rust; white streaks or remaining rust indicates that an additional coat is required.

Been using One-Step for years. It kills rust dead in its tracks. Wire brush the loose rust and spray it on. It converts rust into black paint. I do recommend topcoating over it. Typically I would use One-Step, then primer over that, then top coat it. I’ve used it on cars(frame and body both) as well as tractors. -

Well, my 2005 truck had a lot of surface rust on the frame, so I thought I would nip it in the bud. I read a lot online about what to use and decided to go with the mar-hyde rust converter.I used about 2 full cans to rust convert the frame, drive shaft, axles and hitch of 1 mid-sized pickup. I will probably go back and touch up with another can. I tried to avoid spraying on plastic parts, but it doesn’t say anywhere that it will hurt plastic or rubber parts. It does say not to spray on any surface that exceeds 200 degrees, so I definitely avoided the exhaust and engine. The body itself looked perfect so I did not use any on the body. It seemed to do a good job. By the day after I sprayed, the rust had all converted to a smoother darker finish.
On the down side, the fumes seem very noxious. I used it outside, on a slightly breezy warm day and the fumes were still strong, especially if you got in the “cloud.” I would only use it outside and preferably with some sort of mask and away from children or pets.
I am planning on coating the underside of the truck with fluid film also, but I have not done this yet. I am not planning on painting the frame. Its been about 2 weeks since I performed the initial treatment and I have had no problems.
Well, there is my story about mar-hyde. I am not an expert, but there is my experience. hope it helps someone.

Truck Beds — Dealing With Damage
Truck beds that actually get put to use often end up with one kind of damage or another. It’s easy enough to just turn over your pickup to a body shop for repair. The problem with that approach is the price tag. What about tackling a bed repair project yourself? Here are 5 approaches to do-it-yourself truck bed fix-up.
Replacement Panels
Especially if rust is the villain, complete replacement of the damaged bed floor works best. For many popular trucks you can buy the truck floor in sections. That way you just cut out the bad part and graft in the new. The new panel can be attached with rivets and then puttied in to match the existing panels. A better way is to simply weld in the new sections and then prepare for paint.
Rust Converter
One powerful tool for dealing with rusty metal is chemical rust converter. Made by several companies, these compounds are a paint on coating that actually changes rust to a different material. What you end up with is a primer coat after the reaction takes place. Then just paint on the finish coat right over the prime coat produced by the rust converter.
Sanding
Getting rid of rust requires some serious steps if you don’t take the chemical converter route. Simple sanding may often not be enough, since the rust may hide in dips and flaws. That’s why the best alternative for rust elimination may be blasting, sand blasting that is. That process air blasts abrasive material to beat back the rust. The problem is that more than just rust gets blasted away. Blasting can blow away even sound metal too.
Touch-up Paint
Luckily, an internet search will probably show that you can get your paint with the proper paint code in spray cans or in small quantities by the bottle. That way when the bed damage is corrected, the painting can be done with correct paint.
Roll On Bed Liners
Covering the damage means the actual repair need not be quite so professional. Any repair should produce a sound rust-free surface. But if you cover the surface after the repair, the actual repair appearance doesn’t much matter. That’s where a simple roll on bed liner or another bed cover provides the finished appearance to cover the repair.
Truck beds take a licking over time when pickups actually do hauling jobs. Fixing the damage can be left to the pros or you can tackle it yourself. The do-it-yourself solutions may be good enough and far cheaper.

How To Beat Household Rust
With winter finally behind us, you’ve probably started to prepare for the warmer weather ahead. That means putting away the snow blower and snow shovels and getting out the lawnmower, rakes, garden tools and patio set. You may have noticed that many of your stored items, look at little worse for the wear… they’re covered in spider webs, dirt and rust. While it’s no secret that you can clean off the dirt and spider webs with a little water and elbow grease, you may be unaware of your options when it comes to fixing the rust.
Most of the rust you encounter can be fixed with a little help. Not only will the item look better when you’re done, but it will usually perform better and last longer.
Before you get to work, it’s helpful to understand what rust is and why it occurs? Rust is the common term for corroded steel or iron. The reddish oxide is caused by exposed metal coming into contact with oxygen and moisture.
Since moisture in the air is one of the most common causes of rust, decreasing the humidity around your stored items can reduce the likelihood of rust forming. If you usually keep your stored items in the basement or garage, moving them into a climate-controlled part of your house can help. A dehumidifier can also help reduce humidity, but they can be expensive to purchase and operate. Since running a humidifier or moving the stored items is not always practical, you may need to explore other methods.
For smaller items that can be stored in cabinets, drawers or tool boxes, you can invest in moisture control products, like the Tool Buddy Moisture Eliminator. Each packet reduces moisture in an area between seven and ten cubic feet. Sold in a five packet box, the Tool Buddy is an inexpensive and convenient way to prevent rust from forming.
The most important thing to know when it comes to rust, is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Spend a little more time when it comes time to storing your items, and you won’t uncover the ugly rust spots when you take the items out again.
For those items that can’t be stored in a less humid environment, we recommend applying a rust prevention product before storage. First clean your item to remove salt, dirt, grass clippings, etc. Then thoroughly dry the item. Next apply a protective coating to any unpainted surface. There are many different options available. We recommend either Boeshield T-9, a convenient aerosol spray or Bull Frog Rust Blocker which is non-flammable, non-toxic, non-polluting and biodegradable.For those items that have already suffered from rust damage, we recommend a rust remover or converter product. There are several types of rust removal products available. Evapo-Rust is a safe and easy-to use on items that can be soaked. Bull Frog Rust Remover is an organic, non-toxic gel that also protects the product against future rust formation. It works particularly well in household applications as it does not contain any harsh chemicals or emit strong odors.
And lastly for those items where it is not practical to remove the rust, you can use a rust converter product to turn rust into a black protective surface than can then be painted over. Rust Converter works particularly well on lawnmower beds, snow blowers and vehicles.
