Has anyone used rust inhibitors such as Rust Bullet, Eastwood or POR15? Need to do some work on the F350 frame. Some areas are grossly rusted and some not so bad. And before you smart asses start my wife gave me 57,000.00 reason why we're not buying a new truck!!!! Just want to know if this stuff works- Thanks- Ted

I have used POR15 and this from 3Mhttp://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Marine/Home/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECIE20S4K7000000_nid=SQP0N0XQV0beS38K155C5Rgl&MDR=true
The POR15 I used on a customers vehicle that he provided. It did a good job. I have used the 3M rust converter on many occasions. It does a great job and it is very easy to clean up.

Restored my Chevelle 15 years ago and still as good as the day I put it on.

POR 15 is some good stuff.  Most body shop paint supply stores sell it just ask them or can order it direct.  Have used POR 15 on many things with good luck and also used their fuel tank sealer kit too that worked well.  If you just want to stop rust on metal before painting after blasting spray or brush on phosphorus oxide it will turn metal black and can just paint primer over it.

Hey Glen, I plan on blasting with Black Beauty. There is an area on the front of thr frame that is boxed and I don't think I can get inside with the blaster. I was hoping some of these rust inhibitors would take care of this area. Still looking for any ideas or suggestions.

I've seen the newer spray inhibitors that Eastwood & POR15 sell that are suppose to be sprayed into a boxed in chassis frame but have not used any of those yet.  Just have to ask other body shops or car restoration shops if they have used them yet but most are so new only time is going to tell if those work.  Try it and go in later to view with a flex scope seeing if it stayed stuck on there.
