Nick, Phosphoric acid is used in many proprietry solutions for cleaning rusty ferrous items. The oxide (rust) is converted to a phosphate which also passivates the steeel underneath.
I found this gobbledegook too, if you can make any sense of it:-
"A method is disclosed for coating rusted metallic surfaces which comprises (a) removing loose rust particles by superficial surface treatment, (b) applying a coating containing about 55-95% by weight of an aliphatic(meth)acrylic monomer having at least two sites of polymerizable unsaturation and having a 25.degree. C. vapor pressure of no greater than about 0.5 mmHg and a 25.degree. C. viscosity in the range of about 3 cps to about 100 cps, about 0.5-5.0% by weight of a peroxide curing system and about 5.0-35.0% by weight of a drying oil-based oxygen scavenger system, and © allowing the coating to cure under ambient conditions."
So there you go.... no excuses for a rusty chassis now.
