I'm looking for something a little more immediate.

I have a 2004 truck and it has some surface rust on the frame in the rear.  
Hey, this is Minnesota.  Factory frame paint seems very temporary hereabouts.  
I don't care what it looks like down there, and it would take a lot of rust to 
make any difference, but I'd like to do something to keep the salt off it's 
proverbial back.  

I don't have a lot of time here, and I don't think I can buy Waxoyl locally.  

How about I get a whole bunch of cans of silicone spray and let it soak in to 
the rust?
