'88 Grand Wagon frame rusted
Might be something like this stuff:
http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?i...rID=347&KICKER or: http://tinyurl.com/yelepd I have also used POR-15 as a rust preventative, and it has survived 7 Michigan winters on my truck frame so far with no rust at all. Just wear gloves when you use the stuff, or it takes 2-3 weeks for it to wear off your skin.

'88 Grand Wagon frame rusted
Thanks Mike, Earle, Chris
I will check for the "rust converter" at CTC this weekend. I used something like that on my trailer hitch and painted it with Home Hardware Rust Coat. But it rusted through the paint in one winter. I guess I didn't get all the rust or else I used a similar product that wasn't as good. I still have some of the original formula Naval Jelly. The new stuff is poor in comparison. I wanted to try POR-15. I think I found it in the Eastwood catalogue, but I have no idea where to find it in Canada. There is a good selection of Krown products at Home Hardware. The only one I have used is the oil spray. Anybody have experience with their other products? I have 5 vehicles to work on so I can experiment. OT, somebody bumped my wife's car in a parking lot about a month ago. No body damage, but the other car must have been filthy because it left some nasty scratches on the plastic bumper. I was hoping to use rubbing compound to try to clean it up. I have an XJ that has some overspray touch-up paint on the plastic flares. Is there a product that will solve both of these problems? Somebody recently mentioned in another thread that a clay bar could work. Any recommendations? Please suggest something that is available in Canada if possible. Merrill |
