Corrosion...Rust...Cancer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

stllookn · 04-09-2002, 10:41 AM

Are there any corrosion specialists from GM, Toyota, Volvo, the marine industry...Navy...whereever that frequent this board? It is time to weigh in on a discussion about the best way to protect body steel for the long term. By long term, I mean a 20+ year finish. I am not totally convinced that rust conversion products like osphos work in the long term, nor am I convinced that a wire brush and Hammerite will stop rust without getting down to "white" metal first. Any thoughts? I know this might be controversial for some of us...just looking for answers here.
