Chris I've used both products and personally I think the Corroless is
better. It is very thick and contains fiber glass that holds the surface
together and forms an impermeable layer. It's excellant. I painted the
trunk floor on my old alpine and I just saw it again last summer when I
visited the new owner and the trunk floor still looked perfect after 5
years. No rust bleed through.
I also tried using the phosphoric acid and was unhappy with the results.
It didn't work that good and wept through the paint. So I recommend just
using a wire brush wheel in you drill and removing the loose rust and
coating with Corroless or Por 15 which ever one you choose to use.
Corroless is availabler from Eastwood Products: www.eastwoodco.com
POR 15 from Restomotive Labs Div POR 15, Inc. :http://www.por15.com
Hope this helps. Armand
