Navel Jelly is essentially phosphoric acid, with a gel
added to make it easier to use.  Phosphoric acid in
general is good, because it will attack rust and also
etch the bare steel (like an etching primer).  It is a
good thing to use on any bare steel, either stripped
old panels, or new replacement panels.

You can also get it in a liquid form that can be
sprayed and rinsed off.  My local HD carries a product
called "The Must for Rust" that works well.
