THe "Rust Converter" that Mitchell notes is not too bad. I had 1 particular VW Beetle for 14yrs. This was my "play" car. It spent it's life on the beach & being driven through salt water etc. I'd always hose the car out after being on the beach, but every 6mths or so I'd look for rust, paint any that I found with "Rust Converter" & after it dried, plaster the entire car with fisholine.

It lasted me 14yrs & then I sold it. I think it may still be getting around somewhere....
