take some acid spray it down with that, let it sit for a hour so wash it off and u can wire wheel it or just paint in with some gloss or flat balck paint. Its makes the truck look good to and stops it. Diesel power mag. has a section in this months mag

i got borred tonight so i wondered over to my garage and started to clean it up in my cab...found that some a**hole poured bondo in my cab to cover up rust instead of doing it right... what they did is left all sand and debries ext.. in the corner poured bondo and put a sheet of thin metal over top..i got my BFH and a chiesel and went to work to get to a spot that wasent so bad... took some rust out wire wheeled it sanded it blew it all out with air hose and put in a nice big dip to help me then cleaned it up for time being with some rustolium black paint.......if i can ill put some pictures after this if i can figure it out...
