What would be the best combo to use on the floor pans, once the floor tar is off? I have solid pans, so only anticipating surface rust.

For the center tunnel, or can/should the tunnel be taken off to remove the rust?

the key to por15 is its supposed to be applied directly over any rust its intended as a rust converter, it has very little uv protection so it breaks down in sunlight and must be top coated with another paint or in your case carpet. its a good product if used as intended. you do not want to apply it to clean metal or it will just peel off as it needs the rust to bond it if you have clean bare metal you would want to epoxy the area and use something else as a topcoat

It's not a rust converter. It's an encapsulator.
Application instructions call for getting rid of as much rust as possible, then using their Metal Ready product, which is a rust converter/etcher/primer and then applying the Por15 as the last stage. I don't think there are any products that if simply applied over rust will hold up over time.

I used the product as instructed on my interior floor pans and 7 years later it looks just like it did in the day I applied it. I have heard people say it won't hold up well to sunlight but I used it in my rocker covers too and haven't had any issues. I have a black car so the black Por15 worked great and didn't require me to paint over it.
