SPRAY ON RUST REMOVER

Must for Rust http://www.krudkutter.com/index.php?option=com_products&task=category&catid=4&Itemid=65

Like the above poster, I used Rust Kutter when I restored my old jeep CJ-7 and it worked great. Then I used Rust Stop spray paint from ACE Hardware as the top coat. Three years later it looks like the factory paint still. Its fantastic. It would work really good on a trailer frame I would think.

Acid doesn't eat rubber gloves....why one should wear rubber gloves while handling.

I have used Rust Kutter from Tractor Supply. It converts the rust to a black substance that you just leave on and then paint over if you wish. I used it on my trailer frame several years ago and painted over it with black Rustoleum paint and it still looks the same today as when I did it. Our trailer spends at least three months in the salt air of Florida every winter so I would say the stuff works well! :) I applied it with a roller but they also sell a spray can. You do need to wear a respirator mask though as the fumes are quite strong when working under and around the framework.

Hi Barney, would I need to cover any rubber items or seals, hoses, etc. since its Acid based?

The best product for rust I've ever used was Rust Destroyer.

I used to get it at Home Depot but they know longer carry it as an employee there said it was banned in California under their strict air emission laws.

Comes in a spray can or conventional can so you can apply with a brush. I normally would buy it in the can and apply with a brush. Fantastic product. It will handle anything you've got.

There are several products on the market and available at Wal-Mart automotive and other Auto outlets that will turn rust into a hard protective cover. I have used several and they do work well. Google Rust repair and you will probably find several.
