Treating and removing rust, do I need this stuff?
Discussion
I've asked the same Q on my project thread really, but thought I'd have a better shot at getting some info here.
To treat some rust on my E36 the plan currently is to wire brush, Kurust, then paint with Hammerite direct to metal.
Is there any point adding this stuff into the process before the Kurust?:

I've not used it before, but wondered if I would get any benefit from doing so?

Krust isn't very good apparently as it's water based and doesn't actually remove the rust properly.
Have a look at bilt hamber products. They are by far the best.
I would go back to bare metal then remove the rust using their deox gel. Then paint it with their electrox spray followed by some 3M Shutz underseal.

Never heard of any of those products but will look them up.Have a look at bilt hamber products. They are by far the best.

Why are they better than the Hammerite/Waxoil for rust proofing?
Never heard of those either! I'm genuinely interested though in whether there's any real reason not to use the Waxoil spray (or the other Waxoil one). If I use that Electrox first then it really should suffice going on what I've read.
Interested to hear of any evidence to the contrary before I go ahead.

Read through these, they are a couple of years old now but it was a 3 year test.

Had a look at the Bilt Hamber gear, buying the Electrox and the Deox. Curious though about the Waxoil spray, should be fine with that, no? I prefer a clear sealant so that I can keep a better eye on things.
I would recomment the bilt hamber deox gel, used it on a MGB (so a good test!) and it did really good job, took it right back to clean, (if a bit pitted) steel! Better than i was expecting. TroubledSoul said:

i find the best way to get rid of rust is to stick it on Ebay.
It's only minor in the grand scheme....

Nice! Cheers I use mechanical abrasion (flap wheel) to remove rust and then Phosphoric Acid - google it.
