Best way to remove rust?

[drk mrk iv]

I have a little rust. It is mainly on my underbody, around the where the shocks and struts are and around some screws. Is there a simple way of removing it? Are there chemical paints out there that can eliminate it?

Try a wire brush and some paint.

Cutting it out is the best way, but you could use a die grinder or a dremmel and use a wire brush and try getting most of it off. Then use POR 15 on it, I used it on my car and the rust hasn't spread since. DON'T just use paint, sorry Dr3wStx, but its something I don't agree with, just painting it will keep moisture underneath, which will in turn cause it to rust through. Por 15 absorbs the moisture, read up on it.

EDIT: here is the rust spot I had, I cut it out & used POR 15 around the edges.

Scotch Brite by 3M works great especially when you soak it with WD-40 or gasoline. then strip all oils and repaint.

Whichever paint you use... POR15/primer, base, clear, primer, base.. you must remove all the rust down to bare metal. I would recomend you pick up a DA and work with ~120 grit, prime then paint.
