Temporary rust fix

What do you recommend to put on rust that you notice, as a temporary measure, if you can't get around to sorting it out just yet? I saw someone on another forum mention waxoyl??

 

Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 is good stuff, just paint it on and it seals and converts the rust.

 

Waxoyl (or even WD40) will do.

 

Or just pop down to halfords and grab a can of vaguely close colour match and slap it all over. Works for most vans on eBay apparently

 

Most rust bubbles from the inside out so what you see is just the tip of the iceberg and coating it in anything is pointless.

 

Jesus. You know how to fill someone with confidence. How’s the motivational speaking lectures going?

 

Para forgot to mention that we’re all going to die anyway, so what’s the point?

 

Doomed I tell you, Doomed. Don't tell em your name Pike.

 

Apologies I do tend to just say it how it is.
Anyone who’s started picking at a small scab on bodywork only to find it open up into a larger hole knows this.
No wonder product will stop it getting worse.

If it is genuinely surface corrosion then sanding it back to as bare metal as possible and using a zinc oxide rich primer along with a non porous top coat is the best approach.

 

We were kidding

No need for apologies on here, folks ask the questions and we offer our comments based on our individual experience of the subject. I have used Vactan to good effect to stop rust in its tracks, which can then be overpainted as a temporary measure.

 

Not me, i'll live forever and be indestructable just like the ivy on my garage wall

 

...or the 1930s concrete under my bloody driveway.

 

Made with Adamantium and space crystals that stuff

 

They used stuff that lasts in the 30s. Unfortunately.

 

That's so they can be advertised as 'immaculate'.........

 

I bet that's cheered her up no end......

 

It's just been curing for 90 years....

 

Sounds like the shed base I inherited at our old house. Could have landed a Chinnook on it.
