Chassis saver is another one. The only one I've ever used is POR-15. Mainly because when I order it it take 2 days tops to get.
Rust mort is another one I believe

I use Chassis Saver. One its half the price of POR 15. Plus my store keeps them both in stock.

I have had por15 stand the test of time... never seen any of the others in action over a long period of time so you'll have to see what everyone else says about the rest..

According to my local hot rod shop, POR-15 had a patent on their stuff that then ran out. ChassisSaver makes the same product but can do it cheaper since there is no more active patent to make it exclusive.

POR 15 and Chassis Saver are the same stuff. Same chemical make up.
I have used both and seen them both hold up well. I top coat them most times with acrylic enamel or urethane enamel.

I have used both POR15 and Chassis Saver. They look the same to me and I haven't had a problem with either. The last thing I used was Chassis saver on my Crewcab floor...

PLease forgive my ignorance, I watched the gas tank refurb video series in this thread, and I see most of you guys use this to simply stop MORE rust from occuring?
WHne you do apply it to something, say your frame rails under the bed, do you go over the rusted stuff with a grinder first, then start with the etching chemicals, then the prep THEN the paint finally? Is the end product the same "looking" finish as powdercoating?
does the grinder/wire brush, etc have to be done before doing this? the reason I ask is that my truck has like, 1% rust on it somehow, but could I still benefit if I used the etcher and the por15/ or chassis saver etc.
what shouldn't it be used on?
