H,i does anyone how waxoyl kills rust, i know that if the metal is gone to far you cut it out and replace it,so does it mean just surface rust when the metal goes a orange colour?

waxoil doesnt kill rust. waxoil is a protective coating, which is used to prevent panels from rusting in the future. Providing a layer of protecting between the metal and the rain/grit etc.

It also prevents water, salt & moisture in the air from coming into contact with existing rust (effectively sealing it in) and therefore preventing it from getting worse and spreading as quickly.

You can use a rust converter to turn the rust into a salt that coats the steel 'n makes it harder for it to rust further. Wax is hydrophobic which makes the water form beads and run off rather than seep into the seams 'n start rusting. It won't be as effective if there's already water 'n rust.

Ok but why does it say it kills rust on the tin? only asking because i have noticed some surface rust (orange colour) on a piece of rust on the
floor that i noticed looking through the vents in the outer sill

Maybe it does contain a suitable acid, but I'd doubt it's as effective at getting into the seams as a liquid.

dress the rust back with a flap wheel or sanding paper, kurust (or vactan see here http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=110765433110). let it dry and change colour, add a couple coats of paint, let dry. cover with waxoil or whatever.

Should help keep it at bay, but any holes etc, it needs to be cut out and repaired.

its one ive been using my self and my others i know who restore classic cars.

I believe it is basically kurust but direct from the factory type thing. it works exactly the same as kurust and we have shot blasted cars painted with this and stood for months without any surface rust. we slap it on thick as we will be sanding it off when preping for paint later.
