In order to provide a fast look up to the rust wiki I am posting the link here: http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Rust Lots of information on what rust really is and various ways of dealing with it.

I am also making this a read me at the top of the forum to make it easily accessible to the people needing it.

That takes all the fun out of our rants and raves!

one easy solution to ridding rust is using zero rust prep. this is a non acid phosphatizing powder mixed with water and sprayed on with water sprayer or power washer. zero rust prep will disolve light rust into a dust. you should hand tool any scaling or bubbling on the metal. depending on how tight the rust is you wont need to sandblast. the zero rust prep will then condition the metal to a ph6 which is nearly neutral and perfect for painting, this will also provide a 30 day window unless of course the surface is grounded, when you see the light dust if you want to remove it, just use air or a paper towel. then when the prep step is dry apply zero rust rust inhibitor and you will be protected against rust for many years, **************

Use some punctuation. Your post is very hard to decipher. Also a pass through the spell checker wouldn't hurt.
