That will convert the rust, I used it back in the early 80's. But it's no good if left out in the weather or for a long time. Did you have a look at the following thread?

I have always sanded the rust off, wax and greased the panel, then de-oxidine, then metho, then wax and grease, then paint.

If you use rust converter, say the likes of rs1 for an example, clean it completely off after 24 hours wax & grease remove & epoxy etch the bare steel, MAKE sure that the epoxy etch primer has metal protection properties, sikkens ep & baslac both do. Otherwise you are wasting your time and money. Gary.
