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.

OH yeah, IT WORKS!!!!!!!

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

..........b

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:

How dare you blasphem

Im supprised more teener owners dont RIDE!

When the weather is nice, I do!


As to POR15, get the starter kit. Has enough to do the whole pan of a VW Type 3 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.

Mee too.



And the oil was here when I moved in, it looks a lot better now after lots of cleaning.

psssh...you probably never even use 6th gear on that thing (legally)!
I know I know! I've seen your Avatar!
