Anything short of removal, media blasting, repair as necessary and galvanising is probably just papering over the cracks.

That being said any measures are better than none and if you put in the time Bilt Hamber do some great cleaning and anti-corrosion products. http://www.bilthamber.com/

Agree with the person above that removal is the best solution.

I used a 3" air sander with some of THESE on a rear subframe a while ago which were good, though expensive. There's a video on the page which shows them in action.

I then found some Norton Clean & Strip discs which, whilst being of a similar quality, were priced a lot better and did as good a job, at least in my eyes. Once down to bare and shiny metal, use a finish of your choice. I just primed and painted as I wanted it looking pretty. smile
