The chemistry is that iron oxidises (i.e., rusts) on contact with O2 in air. Trouble is that rust spreads underneath so called sealed (painted) panels along iron grain crystal boundaries. Rust convertor is phosphoric acid which combines with iron to form iron phosphate - which is resitant to oxidation. There are iron pillars dating from ancient medevil England which are rust resistant because the iron is phosphate rich. But, the rule is cut as much out as you can. Be generous as threads if rust extend in the metal grain. Sand off and as soon as possible use phosphoric acid. If you leave a rough surface there is more surface area and little bits which rust quicker - so polish. Clean up and then seal off. Iron filings will seed more rust. Fish oil is more of a water repellant and liguid silicone should do the same but fish oil is very sticky and hangs around. Silicone on top of paint stops water from hanging around. Keep you car dry. If you can't do this spray inside and out with silicone 'oil' frequently. Remember, As Neil Young wrote rust never sleeps. [Report message to a moderator]
