about rust remover;some of the so called rust converters are basicly muratic acid. it is cheap and when cut with water, it can make a good converter. sheetmetal shops are a source where you can find it .

YES, BY ALL MEANS RUST CONVERTERS DO WORK.
HOWEVER THERE IS A COMPANY CALLED "RESTO
MOTIVE LABORATORIES INC" WHICH MANUFACTURES A LINE OF PRODUCTS CALLED "POR-15". MAN, THE STUFFIS GOOD AND DOES EVERY THING THEY CLAIM. I HAVE USED THESE PRODUCTS IN MY OWN SHOP NOW FOR AT LEAST TEN YEARS AND TO THIS DAY THIS STUFF NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME.
THEY HAVE PRODUCTS FOR RUST REPAIR & PREVENTION(BELIEVE ME ONCE THIS IS APPLIED THE RUST AAAAIN'T COMING BACK), ENGINE PAINT AND EXHAUST PAINT THAT WON'T BURN OFF, GAS TANK SEALER,WOOD SEALER--THE LIST GOES ON. SOME PEOPLE CALL IT "POWDER COATING IN A CAN". ONE BIT OF WARNING, IT PERFECTLY SAFE TO USE BUT WEAR RUBBER GLOVES --IF
IT DRIEDS ON YOUR SKIN IT WON'T COME OFF FOR A COUPLE WEEKS---- "TRY IT YOU'LL LIKE IT"
