Slight rust starting on the inside of the door, just looking to slow it down for the time being. What are peoples recommendations on rust treatment products?

 

I've been looking at Kurust and rust remover gel by Hammerite.

 

Cheers

Ive always found Kurust to work, hammerite stuff not used but I had a dip by them that never worked so i'd go for a quick kurust and paint over just to slow it.

Deox C or Deox gel by Bilthamber then Electrox and finally paint. Top off with Dynax UC.

No I dont work for Bilthamber or have anything to do with them but their stuff is top notch and British made, plus they give advice.

Got to agree with FlyingScot,  + epoxy primer before any topcoat. Just about tried everything doing my GT resto.

+1 on BILTHAMBER, you only have to try it out once to be asstonished by the results. forget about the other junk from halfords that transforms the rust into a stable compound. BILTHAMBER REMOVES ALL RUST, it is wicked stuff

After rust removal / treatment I'd also give it a coat of phosphoric acid after you've keyed the surface, let it dry then use epoxy primer and top coat. Make sure the area is completely encapsulated in paint both sides. If air can't get to it, it can't continue to corrode.

Metal needs both water and air to corrode. If ones not in contact with the metal it can't happen.

Epoxy primers are best to use as they're waterproof unlike other primers, except for Bilt Hambers Electrox.

While rust 'treatment' is an important process, complete encapsulation after treatment is the key factor in preventing its progress.

Another one for Bilt Hamber Deox. I used Krust a lot and it does work on light surface rust but for stuff that's a bit deeper then the Bilt Hamber works well.

HOWEVER if the metal is deeply pitted then it's too late, that will need cutting out and fresh metal welding in as mini panels are thin to start with.

+1 for Bilthamber products. The real test will be when you look back in 25 years time but the results on Deox C for rust removal are pretty impressive. Their weld through zinc primer and electrox seem pretty robust as well. Not connected with them, just bought their products over the last few years. Have a look at their website.

Looks like I'll be putting an order in with Bilthamber. Thanks for all your opinions :)

Wax oil on the underside of the car, very good for preventing rust

[Steve220]

Waxoyl is crap. Much better products out there now

[Mini 360]

Agreed.  Might as well melt a candle and throw the wax from that on your car.  Both as bad as each other and far better products out there nowadays.

[pete l]

How about telling us what is better then ? rather than just saying it's crap !

[Steve220]

It's mentioned in this thread already. Dynax UC.
