I'm tempted just to lift it up, give it a quick brush off, and then hit it with either the POR15 or some good old Rustoleum. Either should do the trick and work just fine.

On a side note, the rust we're seeing is very superficial. Unless you plan to keep this car 10 years, I doubt it will ever be an issue.


**just picked up my Rustoleum enamel (flat black), a steel brush, some foam brushes, and a new carbide brush for my dremel for the tough spots.
Yes, obviously from the disposable society.

Finish quality under the car isn't that great. I don't think it's gonna be pretty after the Norherners go through this winter with salt, crap and corrosives on the roads..

I don't plan on keeping my car in an hermetically sealed box to save for the NEXT guy.
