Just wondering...

did you do it by the book? They only guarantee the 300,000 year no rust thing if you use their de-greaser, as well as their metal prep solution which effectively etches any exposed raw metal, allowing the chemicals in the sealant to stick and react to it.

I have only read good things... but would LOVE to hear soome real life stuff.. before I throw down a few hundred bucks on this stuff, and waste the entire summer coating my underbody, and reparing all body rust on my 1987 Wolfsburg GL.

Thanks for responding!

I've got to say, I've tried POR-15 three times and it isn't magic. If you are ever in Freeport, ME, let me know you can stop by and see what the spots I treated with POR-15 in 1998 look like now. It's not a substitute for proper rust removal, surface preparation and recoating. If you do not get rid of all the rust and stop what was causing the rust in the first place, the rust will return no matter what you put on it - Waxoyl, POR-15, peanut butter. I think the only 100% effective cure for rust is moving to Arizona.
