I'm still perplexed using Klean-Strip Prep & Etch to remove rust on my trailer. For the past few days I brush it on in the afternoon or evening and leave it on till late AM the next day. I find it a kaleidoscope of spots of black, streaks of white, and expanses of glossed over light brown rust. The instructions did say to rinse it off. Rinsing and letting it dry leaves me with spots of black, and equal amounts of white and light brown rust. The gloss is gone. I keep figuring at some point all the rust will be gone and I think I'm making progress. There seems to be more and more black and less and less rust but still quite a bit of white. What bothers me is there seems to be rust under the white.
Should I eventually see no rust? What is the white? What is the black?
I'm figuring now this trailer is rustier than what Klean Strip had in mind. This trailer had no paint. I'm sure it spent years if not decades outside w/o paint hauling wood on a small farm. It didn't have any flaking rust--it's not like it was buried in dirt with holes imminent.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
