Perhaps you can treat rust with Extend if you don't intend to paint the
car, and there will be some benefit. On the other hand, the result would
not be pretty. Most of us want to paint the rusty spots. I will be glad
to hear from anyone who has treated rust with extend followed by normal
body paint and had the result last longer than a year. I have a Toyota
sitting in the drive right now that was treated with Extend, to no avail,
and experience with a Ford where it also failed.
