Ideally, the best way to deal with rust is to replace the rusted metal with fresh metal, but the cost of new panels can make this method unrealistic. Slowing or stopping the spread of rust is the most realistic and economical option. In most situations, neither metal replacement nor rust conversion is the smart option. In most cases, applying a rust preventative coating is an easy choice. The coating is easy to use, and it slows and, in some cases, even stops the spread of existing rust. The prevention treatment will seal the surface of the affected area from additional exposure to air and moisture. Most importantly, this treatment adds VpCIs, which slow the formation of new rust and the spread of existing rust. The process is perfect for areas that will not be exposed to direct weather.
