best rust remover?
what the best rust remover for under the truck? for the ,frame leaf springs etc my truck got some rust that I don't like I need to try and remove>?I was reading about evapo rust remover is this stuff any good at all?does it come in a spray bottle?I know about por 15 but that's a 3 part thing.Is there anything at all I can buy and spray on and the rust will come off a lot?.Not really shure if there is or not but I figure I would ask.any parts stores sell anything worth while like auto zone or advanced,i know I may have to do some sanding also.but something in spray bottle would work well for tight spots thanks

I agree, nothing in a spray on will remove rust really, or for sure stop it
rust is moisture in the metal getting out more or less
once it starts, its a on going deal
a grinder or wire wheel, is the best bet, and then after that, treat it with something like POR-15
and hope for the ebst
POR-15 is pretty great stuff, but it comes down to the prep work, better you do it, better it comes out and lasts
I did a pretty rusty frame a few yrs back, took my time, and its still looking great
this stuff dry's hard like a powder coat too, so very durable
don't get it on your hands , a SOB to get off anything you don't want it on if you do!
but do recommend it

Any acid will eat rust but the stronger the acid the better. Problem is after you treat the rust the acid will have cleaned the metal so good it will rust very easily.So if you do, then you must paint the metal after, plus acid in not good for the rubber.
And it will pit aluminum..
If it comes out of a spray bottle then It most likely is not a very strong acid or it would eat the seals in the sprayer after time. It should come in a plastic container to be transferred to a sprayer which should be cleaned after usage. Sanding off rust from an undercarriage is not really practical unless our in prison and have nothing better to do.
I did paint and body for 15 years.

so if i use por 15 do i have to sand the rust off some what first?then apply it?its pretty cold out here i may have to wait to do it tillth espring its about 35 out and next week is going to be in the teens im guessing ill ahve till wait till the spring time.I saw this guy on youtube use vinger and water and let it sit for hours and it got the rust all off.i was thinking of using a paint brush and some type of rust remover and let it sit over night when the weather gets warm here.I also found this stuff called Metal Rescue Rust remover but everything is a bath thats why i was thinking ill pout it in a spray bottle or use a brush with this stuff on the frame its worth a try.here in connecticut where i live they salt the winter roads and use this other stuff and it rusts all the cars and truck out under them.I bought the truck used so i guess the guy before me didnt wash it enough but im going to try and remove it as best i can.
