Shout out to Eastwood. I could not paint my bare metal body panels ...tried the Eastwood Fast Etch. One month later...no flash rust. Worked GREAT. JUST BE SURE TO HAVE GOOD VENTILATION..AND WEAR A MASK. Watch their TH-cam vids.....
Electrolysis was originally in the script for this video. However, I wanted to really expand into that process. We want to keep the "In Minutes" series pretty snappy for you guys. Therefore, we decided to put electrolysis in its own video. Keep your eyes peeled for that one. Coming soon. -JD
So my wife bought me a used 2018 Silverado. It must have been from up north (we're from Dallas) as it has more undercarriage rust than we anticipated. Local mechanic said it was all surface rust. What would be the best product in your lineup for this kind of job? I plan on trying to tackle this job this spring. As I'm not very familiar with this kind of stuff I'm not sure what solution would be best? I know I'll be using a wired brush and a drill w/ wire brush attachment but not sure which chemical (acid vs convertor vs encapsulator) to use. Recommendations?
Sounds like the wire brush plus encapsulator should get you the results you're looking for. We just did that on the C10 project we have in the shop right now - similar story, old PA truck, frame was rusty but not rotted, we wire brush and encapsulated.

At what cost. Great for commercial applications. Prohibitive otherwise. I'll stay with old fashioned remedies. Rarely abide the "new and innovative" money-whoring technologies that are typically grossly overpriced.
There are tons of home-gamers using these methods. Myself included. Fast Etch is a miracle product and only costs 23.99/16 oz. The Contour SCT is 179. You can get a MIG90 welder for 250 bucks, all in. A blast cabinet is only $400. Sure, you could dunk your parts in vinegar or use electrolysis, but the pros use the methods that I mention in the video because they simply work better. -JD
I work at a body shop Come on man . Small holes like that . I could have just put all purpose bondo that bonds with metal , wait till it gets hard and just sand it down . Boom ! Ready to paint in a few hours
Being a mechanic is so satisfying, look at all the cool stuff we get to do! You guys have great products I just wish the shipping costs would drop, I'm kinda forced to go to Hobo Freight sometimes, not a fan of that .
That deburring tool is exactly what I need to grind an area clean for use of some panelbond. I can't see in the top lip that needs prep without use of a mirror.
For frames we generally recommend wire brushing and rust encapsulator. Check out this video where we did exactly what you're asking about: th-cam.com/video/CDq5MyQvtLc/w-d-xo.html
I have a question...if you have a rusty car and you cant afford to take it to shop to do a professional job like this..what can you do. we know there is no fix it all but just to further inhibit or to hinder further rust and anything to to help out. thanks
We have several levels of Rust Encapsulator that will do what you're looking for. www.eastwood.com/eastwood-black-rust-encapsulator-paint-over-rust.html
Or you could buy our 100 lb. blaster, media, and safety equipment for less than $400, all in. Blasting isn't hard to do. The tools will pay for themself after blasting one part. You can do it. 💪 www.eastwood.com/ew-100lb-pressure-abrasive-blaster.html -JD
Transmission fluid works amazing also for say rust under your truck from salt on the roads. It's not for something you plan on painting. It will stop the rust from doing more damage. For snow and salt you might have to do it 2 or 3 times a year. Pump sprayer or spray bottle. I have a car trailer metal deck and it was rusting away fast. So I prayed it with tranny fluid and it stopped it and I hit it 2 times a year. Try it.
Hi. I've watched so many of your videos primarily focusing on frame rust repair and welding. I took autobody and welding in high school over two decades ago and haven't been involved in the work since. I just bought an old 80 C10 patina and feel confident thru watching your videos to refresh my memory on body work, paint, rust repair and welding. Thanks for the videos, please keep them coming.

Yes you could. Apply and then properly clean the fast etch off with pre painting prep, sand, and prep as if it's a normal body panel and apply top coatings.
I have a project in the works that I really hope you're going to enjoy. The project involves a total teardown, and a top to bottom restoration, with some tasteful modifications along the way. HINT: You'll C it B-come something special -JD
Lowest cost system is a kiddy pool full of muriatic acid. Used to create PH balance in pools. Any damage to metal is insignificant, and the rust will be gone long before then anyway. You can save hundreds of dollars over other systems Just be sure to neutralize with simple baking soda. Try the product on a small heavily rusted part, you wont believe how well it works for around $10 a gallon.
@@KensGarage1 Took mine to one of the free household chemical disposal sites after I threw in 4 boxes of soda. I guess the rules are that they will take all chemicals that can be purchased by the general public. They wont take chems. from industry. You may want to check first. I had about 6 gallons, the pool alowed me to lay in large panels then brush over any areas that didnt immerse.
@@KensGarage1 Just neutralize it with sodium hydroxide. The result is salt water. But be carefull when doing that! It is dangerous when doing it incorrectly. I use citric acid because it is much safer. It is much slower but as effective.
Sorry to hear that man, and like you? Very pizzed off too! VERY unsettling with the world today and lotta "people" in it.... TOO friggin lazy to work or entitled and OR completely wacked out on drugs. Yeah, even on the nicer days, I won't leave my shop doors open hardly at all, OR very long.

Well as a tool manufacturer that would be kinda tough. However you can always take as much or as little information you'd like from our videos and use any product you'd like.
That 500,000 is not coming soon enough!! Lol.. Another great video. Keep them coming. 👍🏻

This video sounds more like a commercial for your products than an instructional or informative video
It is a coincidence that they mentioned all there products including there specks…..you are seeing ghosts 😉
What about the laser tool that disintegrates the rust?
We're working on bringing one of these in, they are just tough to make at an affordable price.
Citric acid works well.
Thanks for the info
No problem 👍
No POR products?
Once you remove the rust with wire brush, what do you clean the metal with to prep it for encapsulator/paint?
Pre Painting Prep.

How did you miss electrolysis? The basis of that is used in so many other things, like gold plating, or other plating as well.

@@eastwoodco it's honestly my favorite way. It's simple, it works, and it explains chemistry. Lol
Also, boiling in water will convert unstable red oxide ("rust") into stable black oxide.

I've tried a few different paint-over-rust products. They did absolutely nothing.
P.S. The closed captions are out of this world.

Will supperzilla remove rust
🤔 Good question....It claims it will. I recently bought some and gonna find out
For a video that’s supposed to be focused on rust removal, why are you showing paint removal? Thumbs down.
What, bother you? Showing how effective a tool is was great for me. Of course, you're a know it all
Being a mechanic is so satisfying, look at all the cool stuff we get to do! You guys have great products I just wish the shipping costs would drop, I'm kinda forced to go to Hobo Freight sometimes, not a fan of that .
Thanks for the positive comment, we love getting to do fun work as well!
Keep up the great work on the videos....always entertaining.... insightful.....

I can't see in the top lip that needs prep without use of a mirror.
How can be this applicable in a car with the all frame under full of rust, can be fixed all that or is better give out ?
For frames we generally recommend wire brushing and rust encapsulator. Check out this video where we did exactly what you're asking about: th-cam.com/video/CDq5MyQvtLc/w-d-xo.html

Yes you could. Apply and then properly clean the fast etch off with pre painting prep, sand, and prep as if it's a normal body panel and apply top coatings.

@@eastwoodco I first subscribed to the Eastwood channel because of Matt's Cushman restoration project. Still waiting for him to finish it.
Is the fast etch phosphoric acid based? Just wondering if it is useful for motorcycle tanks.

Laser removal
I love that grinder!
Sad you don't ship to Australia.
Or retail in aus
Wire wheels don't remove heavy rust - they just polish the rust and make rust look like shiny metal.
