Does it only affect rusted areas or can you apply it to new metal and prevent rust?

I think this product is just for rust treatment not for prevention. There are other products in the market specifically for rust prevention.

It leaves a white film where I used it. Seems to stop rust but I used it on a tablesaw and have to clean the white residue before use. Hope that helps.

Yes. It does a great job with rust. You may have to do more the one application, but it will work. Put it on the rust, brush it a little and hose it off.

If there is a lot of rust, first try to dissolve the rust with CLR. Then use the polishing creme. I don't think the polishing creme would take off serious rust. It will, however, polish metals to a beautiful luster.

The rust already there should be removed. You should be able to use a little sand paper, being very careful not to scratch the surrounding area. Then you can apply this to the area where the rust was. The color of the paint is unlikely to match the color of your stove precisely, so while it will cover the spot and stop the rust from spreading, the patch will most likely be a slighly different color than the rest of the stove.

Haven't tried "covering" rust with it. You need to clean off rust (I used emery cloth) before applying the Krylon. It worked great for me that way. Always prep, no matter what you paint. Good luck.

No, if you want to prevent the problem from worsening you must remove all the existing rust and then patch with bondo.

This product is designed for rusted and severe rust areas on metal. If you have chipped paint and no rust you may want to consider a matching color touch up paint product

I have used body filler over crc rust converter on the sides of my truck's flatbed. First, I sanded what was left of the old paint and most of the excess rust off. Then, I applied the rust converter. After it had dried for a couple of days, I sanded again lightly and applied body filler to the dents. Then, I primed and painted. It has been 6 months of hard use since I refinished the bed, and the filler and paint are sticking just fine. No sign of rust, either.

I'll be honest with you. I have never tried it but I'm sure it will work. All its doing is neutralizing the rust so it can stop spreading.

I only use it on anything that is chrome. You can try it on a small spot to see if it doesn't affect the area.

I can't imagine what rusts that you'd use this to shine. It removes TARNISH. If some rust had just rubbed off onto something else through proximity, I'd THINK it would remove the non-original rust, but this is just speculation on my part.

I don't know where you live, but if you could get the bar sand or media blasted first that would take off any rust and loose chrome or anything else for that matter. If you can't do that you can just sand it by hand until you have a smooth and rust free surface and then use the primer. Another way is to buy a can of rust remover and shoot it on first, then sand and primer. The rust reformer will keep any rust from coming thru the new finish. You can purchase it on Amazon too. Hope this helps you.

I don't know how it is on removing rust but it will definitely keep rust away. I wouldn't be without it!

NO, It is not a rust converter or rust inhibitor. It is basically an marine epoxy. If you have a rusted metal surface use a rust converter spray, like Rust-Oleum . To prevent rust on a metal surface clean it prime it and paint it.

I just use some today, and you do have to rub it sometime to get the rust to come off. I have seen the metal turn black and some time metal gray when the rust was removed. I love this product, it just saved me some tools that had gotten wet and rusted badly. I thought I was going to have to throw them away but it saved them. Well worth what I spent when I saved my Harley Davidson gas tank that rusted inside when it sat to long.

I suggest sanding out the rust first before applying this. I also suggest the filler then this touch up as the filler will smooth out the surface and can be sanded flush with the rest of the area. The is a paint type product to match the color. The one I used is white and it is very white.
