> Would you use Por-15 on this..., ...or how else would you clean it up?

I've confirmed that this crap on the battery tray is not a fiberglass patch. PO obviously treated it with something as a preventative measure. HH is also solid, inside and under. The car is virtually rust-free.

I'm using a solvent to get the crap off the side wall and generally clean this area up the best possible (it's coming off - nice job, Stevie Wonder!). But the gunk on the tray is there to stay. Also, the acid corrosion on the side needs addressed (car sat for 8-9 years and battery seemingly "discharged"...thankfully, in a dry garage).

So...I'm thinking of a fresh coat of Por-15 or similar on the tray and small "patch" over the surface rust on the sidewall, just to clean the whole area up. Is this sacrilege...or a decent solution short of a total tear-out and repainting (not gonna happen anytime soon)?

Thanks...and hope you all had a great holiday.

That looks a little like the stuff I used. I had a battery tray with excessive rust and splash up on the wall behind it. There is this rust stop stuff that turns black. You are supposed to sand down/wire wheel the surfaces before applying (but not to bare metal, it needs some rust to start the reaction). I put it on mine just so I could ignore it until I am ready to deal with it. I painted over it though. Doesn't look awesome but I have noticed it has not degraded since I did this months ago. Bigger fish to fry on my car than a battery tray.
