Rust Bullet?

Has anyone ever heard of rust bullet? And is it as good as they say? I have some rust damage in my rocker panels and in my rear wheel wells. I cleaned it up and patched the spots with bondoglass as a temporary fix because it is waterproof. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to get the rust gone and the car back to looking good againon a permenant bases. I just don't have a lot of money...
Thanks

Yeah i agree the stuff is awesome but this rust bullet seems as good with one step coating. no real metal prep, che mical strip with por 15. Its a new product and may not be as good but it looks very promising.

RustBullet seems to work well, but I think POR15 is more popular amongst car people. RB was costly if I recall correctly, my daddio bought a bunch of it. All I know that he used it for was a huge air compressor tank. It sits inside so it's not been put through any tests aside from regular usage.

just read it's directions for use and if it sounds better for the application needed compared to por 15 than use it. alot of these products are similar and different too. 3m makes a panel bond adhesive and so does fuser, but I always use 3m, not because of it's reputation, but because you can mud over it and you don't have to scrub off the excess like the fuser adhesive.
