Bought some rust-prevention products

[SUX2BU99]

In an effort to do what I can to keep my truck from rusting away, I bought a couple of convenient products in order to do some rust-proofing in hard to reach areas that are prone to rusting.

This one I will apply to whatever area I can reach with the little tube it comes with (like WD-40).  Say like the inner rockers by spraying through the trim plate screw holes, above the rear tires in the fender by spraying through the holes in the wheelwell liner, behind the inner fender brace behind the rear tire, the drain hole at the cab corner, places like that. This product is thicker than the other stuff so it will stay better stuck on vertical surfaces:



I bought this too since it's more liquid and can creep into tiny crevices and such where the thicker stuff cannot. I'll probably apply it all in the same areas above too so it gets to the little nooks and crannies:



My preference is to just POR15 everything but sometimes you can't get a paint brush into every area that has rust. Any comments?

I have never used those products but what the heck. I supose they are better than nothing.

I tried the Coat and Protect so far. Crawled underneath and got into all the infamous rust spots: inner rockers, cab corners, between the bed ribs and cross braces, behind the rear tires on the fender in that gap between the inner fender brance and the fender, up above the rear wheelhousing into the fender cavity and up into the kick panel area and the cab supports.  It does indeed form a gel after an hour or so. Doing it once a year should be good, probably in the fall before winter.

Try some "Boeshield T-9" great stuff.  Very hard to find until recently, Sears started selling it, look in woodworking department (used on table saws etc).  Developed by Boeing.  A must have!
