This is not that big a deal, but it really bothers me. I have a little rust between the door and the roof of my XJ. What do you guys recomend as a rust sealer or something else to put on it to keep it from getting worse? I want something the applys with a brush. I can't use a spray b/c its a small area. Any feed back would be great.

Thanks,

I used to see this stuff advertised in Car Craft and Super Chevy called POR-15.  I believe it's a three stage rust treatment that I personally have never used but have heard others rave about.  It won't make your rust go away but supposedly it will stop it quicker than a cop will stop you for driving beadlocks on the highway!  Good luck.  

There has been much discussion over this in my ususal forum, POR 15 works great but it is a 3 stage and it is pretty pricey.  Eastwood has one that supposedly works well and rust encapsulator is another one that I have been told works well. Personally I use Hammerite rust cap and I have had great success with it over the past 10 years or so. It is hard to find, I get mine from here http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/

It goes about $68 or so a gallon adn comes in various colors.

Have it sand blased then painted.  

Makes sense that stuff must be super hard for boats going in salt water.?

All of these are possibilities. I have also taken an orbital sander to the spot; sanded off; hit it with a zinc gel; then take spray on bedliner yes bed liner to the spot to seal it out and paint over that to camouflage.

This was on my 74 f250 in high school i did it to and it worked. Oh and you can spray anywhere you just have to do the masking and prepping work b4 hand.

Thanks for the info.  I had not heard of these things.  Remember when Naval Jelly was the way to go?     

i have restored 2 mjs with por-15 and it is the way to go. the thing will never rust again where por-15 is put. but id get on their website and get a magazine cuz it does need some research first.
