rust cure

[jonnyshaw49]

hi i have taken the front wings off my gt and the car has had all new cills. i have noticed on the front corners of the cill and back of wheel arch there are some rust spots! is there rust cure i can put on the spots that will stop the rust reaction that i can then underseal over. i have a big tin of tertroseal but dont think this cures the rust and i dont want to just paint over it. appreciate any help thanks

hi just been on the website for por15 and it says it sets rock solid to prevent rust and water attacking the metal. it doesnt say it cures the rust or stops the reaction! will it cure the rust?or will i be better using a rust cure before the por15?thanks

you takin the pee'pee?....but i dont see why not as far as the underbody an arches etc are concerned,and its all preped correctly,when i first done my 5 i done it in this order-
marine clean (gunk first for really oily areas)
dry (hairdrier cos im a tart)
metal ready
por 15
then the chassis coat

you can do brackets and other stuff to,whatever...

it does exactly what it says on the tin!!! :cooter::D

:agree: they also do paint remover & rust treater (apparently removes all rust) - this could be handy when doing window surrounds.... before painting the car ;)

you will need the por15 'rust preventative' paint' take a look at the 6 packs they do,can save paint etc...

then you need the 'marine clean'

then....metal ready

to finish off the chassis paint is a good idea but i dont always bother,i just keep applying the por 15 rust paint.

hi today i went to my local car shop and he gave me some loctite rust remedy. on the bottle it said apply the remedy to the rust spot and it turns the rust into a solid paintable piece. i gave it 3 coats and 3 hours later its absolutely solid, then put tetroseal over the top.job done! the loctite remedy was £5 for 90 ml

the rtoc club should either get a supplier or maybe a company who sell the product on board offering discount as i think this is a product that will be used more and more to keep our little babies sound and solid.

So what's so good about this por15 does it stop the reaction? Do you have to use aprduct before and after? Will the rust remedy I got not be ok now its undersealed on top woth professional shultz? Appreciate any advice don't want a rusty 5 lol

I found this product a few years ago that comes in a gel or a water soluable powder. It's the one for me for true rust "removal". I don't beleive on the k-rust stuff etc as it's always come back.


Look for deox c and doex gel.

The stuff does come with a price and it would take a few days to remove rust.

Hope that helps mate.
