Yeah I tried it. It was recommended by a lot of people, so I did it.  My 
conclusion was that it was no better than a good coat of paint.  I let it 
sit by itself without paint for a week and it started rusting.  I figure 
if it's going to rust on its own, then it's not really doing much and 
it'll rust if any moisture gets through the pain anyway, right?  I sanded 
the rusted stuff off again and put a coat of primer on it.  

Nothing really stops rust here in the northwoods.  I think Joel is 
right.  You can't have too many coats of paint.  And the miracle cures 
are just that, miracles.  

I once bought a set of Wonder-Wipers.  My wife kept saying, "Yeah -- you
wonder why you bought 'em" <grin>.
