There is a twofold process which will permanently stop rust. 1) Use aluminium. 2) Move to Arizona.

FANTASTIC stuff, I've been using it for years, and just yesterday on my Dodge. Accept no substitute, because there is none. But one word of caution: Use nitrile gloves, available cheap at Harbor Freight and elsewhere. Because POR 15 is impervious to all solvents, if it dries on your hands, the ONLY thing that will take it off is TIME. When resealing the can, put a sheet of plastic food wrap between the can and the lid, then tap it down because if the product dries the two together, you'll destroy the can getting the lid off the next time.

Did you paint over it?

I've used this stuff on my 1995 Mercedes which was developing a small rust spot near one of the rear wheel wells. I followed the instructions and the stuff worked great. Dries rock-hard too. I put a spot of touch-up paint over the repair and it's virtually impossible to see unless you're really looking closely. After about two years no sign of the rust returning at all.

I had a rusty railing on my house so I knocked off the loose rust with a wire brush then painted with POR15, finally painted with black paint. It's been 5 years and it still looks great and I'm in the NE not in SolCal, it snows here. Stuff works great, just a little expensive but worth it

I used POR 15 when I was in Auto Body back in high school. This stuff works amazingly. My teacher deminstrated how good it is buy taking a piece of cloth and coating it with POR15 and the next day we could drill and tap into that piece of cloth. this stuff is awesome

This is the best stuff I have ever used. If properly applied and protected, it will never rust again unless the metal is bent.

Permanent is a big word when you're talking about rust.

Stuff definitely works. Did my TJ frame like 4 years ago. Not a lick of rust after 4 Chicago winters.

Great stuff, I coated the floor boards top and bottom of my 41 Lincoln 6 years ago and it eliminated the further rust spread. I used their acid etch prior to coating, fast and easy and it works.

***** i own a few datsuns and therefore use por15 all the time and I can tell you that it definitely can be used over rust directly with no prep as long as there is no oils on it. por15 works by mechanical adhesion so a rough rusty surface is perfect for it, but when oil is embedded in the pores of the metal it gets in the way of that. its not Paint Over Oil. This makes it not so good for the underside of a car unless you degrease it really well. It's not strictly an automotive product however and works great at encapsulating rust to stop it.

It can not protect the material if it never comes in contact with it. That is why the removal of as much rust as possible is advised. You would have to lack all common sense to try and paint over flaky rust and expect it to work optimally. I have used this stuff and its the best, but expensive.

Thanks Jay and crew, Great information. Godspeed recovering. Blessings to you and yours.

Thanks Jay! First product I've seen you feature that I've used too. This stuff is AWESOME! I used it on my '72 Charger about 6 years ago and full prep or minimal prep (degreased, could not remove rust) it is still working! Only problem spots are because of a tarp that rubs off any product over time.

I have used this and Rust Bullet and the latter is a much better product. The POR products require a lot of preparation prior to the coating. You can apply Rust Bullet directly with minimal prep. I have panels that were rusty with Rust Bullet painted over for the last 14 years outdoors rain or shine and no issues!

Great product, even though, a little pricey...Well worth it, applied to some rust spots on the door of my Datsun 280zx. Not only has the rust never returned, but the repair is undetectable. Awesome stuff.

Thank you for your videos

I've used their products, and it does end up "flaking" off like other sealant products as Jay mentioned. I fully prepped per instructions.

My 98 Harley FXDL tank liner lifted. I used the POR tank kit and it is unbelievably fantastic. All you have to do is follow the directions

Good stuff, we saved a lot of carberators that had sever corrosin by sealing them with this, even coated a few floats that were no longer availble, readjust for added weight and good to go

Thanks, I may try it. I was going to just oil the bottom of my Suburban before winter which I heard works too, and now I have this to think about and maybe use.

I used the POR-15 fuel-tank repair kit on my '68 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible, and it worked perfectly for me. I did the sealer on the inside of the tank, and the paint on the outside of the tank. It looks like a brand-new tank. You just have to make sure to follow ALL the instructions -- and take your time. This is not a quick process.

Love these product segments. Please do more of them.

I first used this product 22 yrs ago to repair rusty water cooling towers. A word of Warning! DO NOT get any on your skin! If you do ,wipe off immediately! I got some of the silver product on my forearm,and the moisture on my skin caused it to cure. The only way I got it off,was to scrape it off and it took a lot skin with it! Read and follow instructions. If you top coat with paint, apply paint while product is "tacky" or It will dry hard and paint will not adhere. Then you will have to sand. A great product!

Just watched the projects in progress, leave the Mercedes original. I saw a '65 or newer Corvair on a lift, have you "shown" this one? I own a '65 four carb Corsa & you do a great job telling special insights. Thanks from an "old phart".

I used it about 10 years ago to "anti-rust" the frame on my '59 Willys Wagon. It's still clean with no rust. I used it last Spring to seal the gas tank on my RotorTiller. I'll see how it is in a couple of months.

This is by far the best rust preventative that you can buy. All of the good restoration shops protect their customers cars with this product.

Good of Jay to give these co's a chance to get their product exposure.

This video was posted 6 years ago. Do you still use this product, especially on motorcycle gas tanks, or during this time you found a better alternative? Thank you.

Been using por15 for years. I don't follow all the steps. Wirebrush and sandpaper loose rust then quick scrub with a brillo pad. Wipe down with wet cloth or rinse thoroughly. Let dry then use a couple coats of permatex rust treatment. Let dry and add a couple coats of por15. Haven't had any trouble with por15 sticking to treated areas. Follow up with top coat of rustoleum. Has worked very well for me with no problems.

OK, I put some on the rear differential "pumpkin" plate of a car which was real crusty. I had to knock off a bunch of loose metal first, then prep it and after I dried it with a heat gun (it needs to be dry to paint) I put it on; it looks so much smoother than it did. It hasn't been ten days yet since I did it, I'm not going to wait until winter starts to coat the rest of the car.

Love the stuff but it does have a shelf life after opening. Plan you job and skin protection is a must unless you like wearing a coat of POR15.

I've used this stuff in the past and it works as advertised. It's the best stuff on the market as far as I'm concerned. Of course there is prep for it to work properly but if you did the same with paint, rust will return where this will stop it permanently.

I used that stuff on my 53 and its good stuff!

I used their 3 part system in my motorcycle gas tank after it got completely full of rust... It worked better than imagined cleaning and coating the inside of my gas tank and leaving it rust free for the next 5 years until I sold it. Also, I don't think they made it to clear in the video, but I don't believe the motorcycle tank version is the same as the original por 15, which is why it shouldn't flake off if prepped right... it's silver instead of black and I have a feeling it's thicker. And that metal prep is damn good stuff for anyone wanting to remove rust from metal. Just my two cents for anyone looking.

what a GREAT product...used it many times with tremendous results...have also used polyurethane resin with similar results while saving big bucks

Is this only for bare metal? Can this be used as underbody coat on new FT? Painted areas inside and out to prevent rust?

Fluid film ! Its a lanolin based product you can spray or brush it on and a product i haven't tried yet, NH OIL... oh...i saw your Pantera video ! Awesome, but if its narrow inside like a 911, my shoulders are too broad to shut the door unless i scrunch up, then they get sore and i was wondering if air got under the front at high speed and lift the car up,my 69 vette would actually be forced lower due to aero dynamics around 95-100 mph and handled great at speed.

In my experience with it you just need to remove the big flaky stuff degrease it and the phosphoric acid helps it stick to unrusty metal. So yes you can brush it over rust. My dad and I have used it for years and thats all we do.We've never had the rust come back. You can literally hit it with a hammer and the metal will bend but the POR 15 doesn't break.

Por-15 tank sealer is some good stuff..... when I make a custom fiberglass gas tank for a custom car, truck, boat, plane or motorcycle, I use POR-15 tank sealer.......

If you cant find POR-15 and you need something right away to seal or re-line the inside of a repaired, rusty or new fiberglass tank, you can buy another GREAT product called RED KOTE ....You use it the same way as POR-15....... 100 uses for this stuff!

I agree about the Red Kote Mr. Roach. The POR-15 paint is another story. The stuff lifts off in sheets even with a great prep job. I liken it to snake oil... For the underside of a car, it's cheaper and better to use a 2 part epoxy paint or 2 part urethane. The POR-15 has no hardeners. That alone says a lot. I suspect it's a totally different situation on your fiberglass parts. It would be fun to do some side by side experiments.

I used a quart of POR15 back in the 90’s & I didn’t feel that it lived up to the advertised promise; with that said, I admit that maybe I wasn’t thorough enough on prep; you can never be too diligent. There are so many products available today, it’s hard to know what works best for guys like us, building stuff in our garage & driveway. Rustoleum is cheap, it’s available everywhere, it looks decent & it’s pretty forgiving unless you want show car quality & that’s just not in the cards for the way I live...

I am familiar with POR15 and have used it and it does work very well. The phosphoric acid treatment neutralizes the rust and the paint coating is amazingly strong! Car guys who live is high rust areas: just put in a small order and try it out, you'll love it. Promise.

Used it on my Datsun Z...Rust left town, and NEVER came back.

If you paint a piece of sandpaper, it is then colored sandpaper. Of course the better the prep the better the paint job. I used this product (better have a good understanding that the overspray from this product is toxic DO NOT BREATHE OR LET IT OTHERWISE GET IN YOUR SKIN OR EYES) and after 13 yrs. (so far) on my sandblasted 70's corvette frame, suspension arms, drive shaft, brake calipers, etc...still looks like new. I also agree that top coating is best done after a brief flash period of the product as you would do successive coats of enamel paint. I used the remainder of the paint in my paint gun cup to coat a unprepped cast iron table base for an outdoor table, didn't bother to top coat and sits in the weather ever since. It got dull from the sun and weather but is still holding up. A small amount of flash rust is always present in pitted metal but the product is made to encapsulate the metal. Its the best product I've used for old metal. Probably next best thing to powder coat or dipping for new metal for a DYI.

nice,, about to do mine.

would be nice ti have after a rocker panel fix. nice if i was american i would buy. keep up the videos jay

i have use this a lot, the paint is outstanding , I have used it on frames, bottom of cars, trk, inter fenders wells , I have spilled it on my paints and had the paints wear out around the paint,,,, I used this stuff 25 yrs ago and it stand up, never had a redo with it,, money well spent

Interesting product but at $52 a quart I would opt for Naval Jelly first which DOES convert rust into a stable compound that can be painted. BTW, the compound is so good its used to coat most modern firearms. And its a fraction of the price. No prep needed.

is this recommended for 4wds? Will it stop saltwater rust?

Por 15 has a great reputation at least around where I live but it is kinda pricey. If it was more affordable I would use it a lot more.

Your oil based coating might have worked better if a second coat had been applied. Lots of pin holes are usually present after just one coat. For the US Navy's bilge service, a two-part epoxy two-coat system is used with the first coat containing a fluorescent dye. Any fluorescence observed following the top coat gets a followup spot coat. The warranty went from something like two years to 15 years.

Try OSPHO. There are other similar products out there that are just Phosphoric acid. This company sells so much commercially that they do little advertising-it's that good. Just paint it on after removing the loose rust, let it convert the Iron Oxide to Iron Phosphate (an inert compound) and primer/paint:)
