So i thought i would give a progress report on the project. WARNING- Ospho will eat into concrete

Aside from that, i first did the sanding process. I found that the orbital sander worked best (only could be on top of the ridges though). You will change through the sanding disks on it rapidly though, i went through 4. The wire wheel did a decent job, but the quick strip disk did better. The grinding point was great for the rust holes, especially where metal was lifted from rust.

After the sanding process was the degreasing and cleaning. The marine clean is REALLY concentrated! I mixed it 5 parts water 1 part marine clean and it took me about 15 minutes to finally get it all off the bed. Since it is water based i felt like i was just multiplying it by using water to wash it off! Anyways, i highly recommend this product as a degreaser and cleaner, as it is easy on paint and is very good at getting dirt, grease, oil and such off of metal.

The next part was the ospho rust converter! THIS STUFF IS GOOOOOOODDDD! I highly recommend this, it is basically a diluted acid that reacts with the rust (a base) to produce something, i really dont know what it converts it to. Anyways, it worked very well and got to places you just cant get to with the wire wheel. This stuff is acid, so work in a well ventilated area with it and rubber gloves. It just brushes on and you let it soak into the rust. VERY GOOD AT REMOVING FLASH RUST!!!!!!!
Next step is the prep powder for the zero rust. Hope to update you all tomorrow!
