Hi guys,
I have a feeling about the answer to this, but I like opinions/experience... POR 15 is great, but my battery tray while pretty darn solid has some corrosion (that isnt compromising structural integrity) w/ surface rust. Can I POR15 right over the corrosion, or should I neutralize the battery acid corrosion first? And if so, what have people had best luck with that (1) I can apply easily in the garage (without having to drive the car through 3 feet of snow somewhere) and (2) without removing the engine AND (3) wont keep the POR 15 from sticking? |

*I* would hit it with a wire brush, marine clean, metal ready, Por15, then top coat it with a high quality top coat.
A "starter" kist should have what you need in it, less the high quality top coat. I don't see how neutralizing it with baking soda prior to all this could hurt, the marine clean should remove any remaineing soda. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with the neutralization of the acid. I did an experiment where I wirebrushed all rust off some plumbing parts then coated with POR 15. The experiment: on half of the parts I lightly took off the flaking rust but not down to clean metal then Por 15'd them. It's been 6 months, no rust has returned on any of the parts and they get soaked with detergent and high salinity water daily. It's good shit Man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I figured as much, the car is in storage now, I'll get to it as soon as I collect all the parts for the interior, sandblast bumpers/valences for paint.. etc etc..
Now that my tiny garage is empty I can work on my OTHER project: Attached image(s)

(IMG:http://www.icbm.org/erkson/personal/goldwing/gw-top-right-side.jpg) As to POR15, get the starter kit. Has enough to do the whole pan of a VW Type 3 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I would definitely recommend cleaning the area first and then follow the instructions. Do the job right the first time. If you want a half-assed job then send it to a mechanic. |
