Naval Jelly is very similar to Oxisolv, they both desolve rust using
phosphoric acid. This desolves the rust, it also desolves the steel,
but not nearly as fast as the rust. That is why you leave it on for a
short time. These chemicals will not smooth out the rust pits. If all
the brown rust is gone, the steel should look grey and black. At this
point try painting the steel with POR15, a single component, moisture
cured urethane paint. It will seal the steel preventing any oxidation
from occuring. I have used the product on my MGA and it does what is
says.

I have major rust, on the steel frrame, of an old MGA boot (trunk lid). I've
sanded, wire
brushed used naval jelly etc.,but still have rust pits. I don't have easy
acess to sandblasting and I'm also worried how that might damage the aluminum
covering.
I'm thinking about using an Eastwood product called Oxisolv. Has anyone used
this product? Can epoxy primer be used over it?
Thanks,
Jim
