I've found webpages suggesting the use of naval jelly and steel wool to remove surface rust. I happen to have a container of aircraft stripper and was wondering if that would work in place of the naval jelly.

 

Naval jelly is made for rust removal.
The paint striper is gonna take all the paint off.

How bad is it? got pic's? Personally id just take a DA and sand it. then again I can paint and do body work.

Id recomend the Naval jelly, some good self etching primer and paint it.

 

Here are pics of the roof and hood. Not too worried about the paint. lol

 

lowes or other, find bear concreat etch and rust remover. That will be muric acid, mix 50/50 with water. Fast acting rust killer like RAID, burn you good also. Or other brans will say safer then muric acid and it is phforsic [spel] acid and does work still, just a bit slower. Kills rust dead.

Same junk ya buy from auto body stores.

Permatxt sells something in a can that is similar. like a clear paint with rust killer in it. Ya spray on 2-3 coats, rust dies n turns black, clear coating keeps it dry. But small can is like $8

I sanded and wire brush the few small spot on my new door, soaked down with pure phforsic [spel] acid from menards[ concreat etch from paint dept.], hit with that permatxt stuff, then either primed or hosed down with spray on undercoating.

Spent to much to not protect the new door.
