Have you completed any preparation with a needle scaler or the like to remove flaked rust first?

got under there and blasted loos material with an air gun....looking for somthing to spray on and seal it

We used to use waste engine oil with a paint srayer to oil the bottom of the cars years ago. Was an easy job by just reaching in under there and sray away on both sides. did a lot for the rust at the time.

If you don't put more effort into prep you will be doing a lot more harm than good because you will be trapping moisture. For what you wan to do your best bet would be drain oil

I use cosmoline, it won't powerwash off.

 

[masseyowner]

cosmoline, dont you heat that up, who has it

yes understood, blow off and wire brush loose bits

Is cosmoline still available? I haven't seen/heard of that for a couple decades. It used to be common for storing tooling. Tapered spindles really don't like rust. and tooling that doesn't get a good bath in cutting oil/coolant once in a while can get a brown haze pretty quickly.

Google is your friend.

Fluid film (expensive, smells nice), or bar and chain oil (cheap, quick and easy). Both are stickier than old engine oil and will last longer.

Honestly, once things develop a nice candy coat of rust, in my experience it doesn't get any worse if the equipment is kept high and dry, not left axle deep in a swamp or deep weeds, or dragged down salt roads in the winter. Trying to "prevent" rust by doing anything but stripping to bare metal and painting with actual paint is wasted effort.

what i'm looking at is spraying a rust neutralizer on the truch chasis

I brushed on Corroseal after I sandblasted my Massey wheels. It leaves a black, ready to paint surface by reforming any rust into (I think) iron phosphate. Bought 2 quarts in a kit off eBay. It's probably available elsewhere. You might be able to thin it and spray, or use an airless gun like used for some paints and stains. Steve

I've had good luck with fluid film. 2005 Ranger (CA truck), been in MI since 2016 (60,000 miles)
