This will allow better adhesion of POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating or any other coating. Metal Prep is Essential to create superior edge corrosion, undercutting resistance & improves welding conductivity
- ✅ APPLICATION - Remove loose or flaking rust, paint scale, etc. Surface to be treated should be free of grease, oil, and other foreign substances. Use of POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser is recommended. POR-15 Metal Prep works faster at temperatures above 70°F. Apply with brush, roller, spray, or dip rusted metal directly into solution.

You will not find anything better than this stuff. It's expensive but will deal with your problems. A few tips though.
I'm a college student fixing a 99 jeep cherokee in the Midwest. Apart from welding a few new panels in I wanted to stop the growth of rust. A lot of the stuff out there is a rubber based paint. Which after a while will allow and hold water in. I looked at options and found this stuff. I bought the metal prep and 1 quart of the paint. I then used brake cleaner to save some cash instead of buying the degreaser and then used a drill/wire brush to remove as much rust as possible. Cleaned the surface again and then put 2-3 coats of the metal prep. Washed and then dried and painted. The paint is permanent, wear gloves cause it will stain your hands, BUT it seals the rust perfectly. It dries to a hardend surface, not rubbery. I have no doubt that this stuff will last the life of the jeep. The second way i reccomend saving money is doing the rust spots only. I mainly used this on the Undercarriage of my jeep and instead of paying $67 a quart I just did the rust spots and painted the rest with bed liner. Bed liner is $20 a quart so it saves some money. I was able to get the entire underside/wheel wells and a few spots inside with the one quart. If you got rust just you gotta get this stuff it will save you big time!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2023
When completely dry, (about two hours in direct Sun at 85 degrees), I brushed on POR-15 Metal Prep. It etched the metal. No sanding or wire brush was required. I left it on 24 hours before painting with Oil based primer. Bonded great.
Is this step required, heck I don't know but I was not about to cheap out after all that work. The process requires you to brush or spray this on and keep it wet for 20 minutes. Most video I saw people used a pump style sprayer for this but I choose to use a spray bottle to apply it since it was the quickest and easiest way for me to just purchase a good spray bottle. But it was just enough to cover the truck bed so keeping it wet for 20 minutes was a challenge with no extra spray after the initial application. So I covered it with plastic once it was sprayed to hopefully prevent it from evaporating too soon. It seemed to work, but 20 minutes? Not sure about that. But it definitely changed the appearance of the metal. However, even after rinsing it off, which is the final step, it left a white residue behind in spots which I was not sure about so I used a rag with some mineral spirits to wipe that away. It was not mentioned in the instructions on the bottle so I assume it was the thing to do and since mineral spirits contains no water I felt it would not hurt. I just did not make sense to me to paint over some powdery residue.
In the end the project came out great and I am pretty confident in the work I did. Will the use of this product make a difference? It does make sense to remove as much loose rust as possible and creating a surface for a paint type product to adhere properly is something I have done many times so it makes sense. When I pull the old truck bed in the spring I plan to go through the same process on the truck frame below the bed. I will most likely try and find another cost effective etching solution so I can be sure to keep it wet as suggested.
That would be my recommendation here - that is, get enough to keep it wet for the required 20 minutes. You can use the size of a 4 x 6.5 foot truck bed as an estimation measurement and decide to purchase this product or a more economical alternative - if there is one.
Side Note: The process also calls for degreasing the surface before using the etching solvent. Again POR makes a product for this purpose, but in this case I just used some Purple Power degreaser which I have used for years when I needed a degreaser. I could not justify the purchase of the POR brand in this case. I did not see how it could be much different than any good degreaser that is applied and rinsed off in the same manner. Just something to consider.
