yep, i tend to agreee with Art here.  This stuff is just voodoo and is no
better 
than mere spray-on undercoating.  All ya gotta do is stop moisture from
reaching
metal, from both sides of the metal too. 

if you want to spend some time on such a project, clean up the surface
really well;
remove all rust with grinder; wipe down with Ospho, or better yet, use Zinc
Primer on an absolutely clean surface.
Then paint or apply undercoating material.  Unless Por 15 or Eastwoods
material contain
any inorganics such as Zinc Powder, their performance will be no better
than <insert automotive store here>'s undercoat at $3 a bottle.
