I have used Picklex before, I believe I'm the one that said Home Depot had the Must For Rust. These are more rust preventatives than rust converters. Remove the rust however you want to do it, the end product needs to be bare steel, doesn't matter how you get there. Apply with a squirt bottle and spread with a brush, it only needs to throughly cover the surface. The dirtiness or cleanliness of the metal will determine the amount of residue -- you will get a lot of residue on cast, not much on sheet metal. I remove as much of the residue as possible with scotch brite pads or equivalent, then clean repeatedly with wax and grease remover--I use PPG 330. Then paint. In any event, let the stuff dry overnight before cleaning or painting, to be on the safe side. Lye gravy, or anything that has water in it will leave flash (immediate) rust. Picklex or Must For Rust will convert flash rust, but rather than try to convert it, I would dry the surface before it rusts, then you can convert the small remaining amount.
