"Must for Rust"

[Matt Bachand]

Home Depot has this stuff on clearance right now for about 4 something a large spray worth.

I sprayed it all over my bed, and seems to have helped, turning rust blackish.

I also sprayed it on my racks, and this resulted in a fortunate side effect.

It dripped onto my old worn out aluminum diamonplate, and it cleaned it so damn good, it looked like someone dripped grey paint on it.

The next few days I misted the aluminum a few times each day, and without ever scrubbing/buffing it once, it is now the brightest cleanest, newest looking aluminum on my truck.

This aluminum is 12 years old, and never been refinished. It was dull, worn, cooroded, and not pleasant. Now its the highlight of the bed

Good stuff. Grab some at HD before the clearance is all gone... Super steal.

I might have to pick some of that up.

And the name of this product is A must for Rust?

 

[DieselCash]

Is this what you are talking about?

 

[treegump]

you say you sprayed and misted it? Do you have a spray attachment? Just a regular quart size applicator?

Wow Matt thanks that sounds like great stuff! Only spot I have rust is my roof for whatever reason and its those little spots here and there that really irritate me. I'm definatly gonna have to try that stuff out. Looks like a trip to home depot on the way home today!

Comes in a spray bottle too.... I ony tried it because home depot had it on clearance for 4 bux... normally 8 or so...

Just be careful about spraying it near good healthy paint. When it rained out white stuff (salt??) embedded in my racks leaked down... It wiped off, but my utility body doesn't matter if the paint gets ruined... A nice OEM cab or something be careful...

Supposedly it prevents rust from BARE IRON for 1 year... also inhibits rust from coming back. Your supposed to sand it down and paint it I think, but I just keep spraying it...

Weeks later, I'm noticing some dissolved rot chunks making there way out of nooks and crannies, with blackened transformed metal underneath...

I swear its pulling the embedded salt out of the metal...

I use to have a sander on the bed, and the city would fill me up until it was heaped over, and pouring down the sides with straight salt... nasty nasty nasty

Its the aluminum diamondplate that that upper box in my avatar sits on. Hard to see in the little picture, but that shelf is now brighter than the upper box.

I'll have to get some pix...

The black spots are where I put out my cigs

In one picture you can see a spot on the other side of the rack base where I didn't spray it down as many times as the main aluminum.

Like I said, I never scrubbed the thing once...

Those rust "convertors" like naval jelly, are really good. They do, however, require priming, painting or other sealing after doing their magic, because the converted metal will corrode again without other protection applied after treatment. Good catch on the aluminum cleaning, I never thought about that, but I guess it converts the aluminum oxide, too.
