I've been using Zero-Rust for three years and so far, it seems to work pretty good. I do know that the old Rustoleum "Rusty Metal Primer" is pretty much useless. Once upon a time they claimed it was made from whale-oil, and maybe it was better back then?? No whales in it today. I'm not sure what whales have to do with rust anyway, but they do live in salt water and I can't say I ever saw a rusty whale.
Zero-Rust has great adhesion and sets up fast, even in a shop that's rarely warmer then 50-60 degrees F. I know some brands won't cure at those cooler temps and some make you wait two days between coats.
I've replaced a lot of sheet metal and frame sections in several trucks. Some three years ago, and so far the sections treated with Zero-Rust still look good. At least, none has peeled off and no rust bleeding through. As I understand it, a good rust stabilizer does so by sealing rust so moisture cannot get it, thus the need for real-good adhesion and a rock-hard water-tight coating.
I've heard the POR-stuff is just as good. I just bought by price and whoever had the best buy per gallon when I needed it. Mine all came from McMaster-Carr, MSC, or Enco Industrial supply.
