I ordered franks. The ease of use and plug and play action is foolproof. I felt like I could have done the diyvan kit as well but once I saw franks basically 30 second install. I emailed him immediately. The parts are already in route as he shipped them Monday. Once the issue is resolved the car...

Small update: I have gone down enough rabbit holes on what to use what not to use what sucks and what doesn’t. Seen enough YouTube videos to last me through the month. It’s going to a body shop on Monday. I don’t really feel comfortable enough to mess with it haha. With all the work I have done...

It can be applied directly to rust. It encapsulates it and inhibits further damage it’s pretty incredible

What rust treatment did you use? What do you mean gone off?

Already ahead of you surface shield is what I’m gonna be using. With some sort of applicator

Surface shield appears to be pretty legit that’s what I will be using then putting franks product on it for coverage.

Sending you a DM

Well this just made this easy. Based off the photos I posted what product would you get? Just finished his video. It looks like surface shield is the top dog

Awesome. Yeah once I get franks parts I actually planned to seal the hole with some sort of RTV to ensure it’s locked for good. You will have to excuse all the questions but you said these prevent rust what about the surface rust that looks like it’s already there? No scuffing needed? Just spray...

Can those be painted over? Can you link those products?

For anyone wondering it looks like the best route will be a scotchbrite pad for gentle agitation as @SSuperDave suggested then rust reformer. The product label states that oil based paint can be used to go over it within 4 hours and 3 days for lacquer paint. I have a brand new genuine ford paint...

With such a small area it looks like I will be doing this with a paint brush.

Yeah I just don’t know what they mean when they say remove it. Am I taking sandpaper to it? The product alone is supposed to turn the rust into a paintable surface. That’s what threw me off.

Remove how? Did you catch the rust oleum product I posted?

Yeah I know. I have found a rust reformer. I don’t know if I should just sandpaper it down or what. I want to make sure I handle it properly. Franks solution should be here in 1-2 weeks he told me.

this is so dumb. this post should be blasted everywhere for all to see. I guess I will have to fix this myself

How could I go about a potential warranty repair? I have a good relationship with an advisor at my local one. Just don’t know what would would need to be said to enact this going through warranty.

I was looking into https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/stops-rust/rust-reformer would this accomplish the same goal?

Tell me about it. Just had the car lowered and brand new wheels and tires put on. Spending all this money then I see this.

Got with frank and purchased his solution. I am sadly a year too late this issue should be highlighted for all to see. I can’t make out if this is rust or lots of dirt and what steps I need to do to fix this correctly. Thanks for your feedback. What a letdown to start the new year.
