Pardon if this is the wrong forum.. didnt know if this would fall under detail or maintanence...
My 11 f150 is pretty clean. Had some rock guard sprayed on the rockers, but noticed lately its rusting on the rocker seams/bolt holes. Took it to my body guy and he told me the obvious, only way to fix is to cut it out and new rockers. We decided to keep it at bay for as long as we can. I'm going to clean out the rockers the best I can via the access holes, and spray the inside with Eastwood internal frame coat, but I want a rust converter that won't damage the rock guard coating too much (going to wire brush the rust a bit, apply a rust converter and spray with rustoleum) then we are going to seal the seams. The goal is to prevent it from spreading too much and hopefully give me a year or 2 before I have to cut them out. I'm being realistic, I know it's a bandaid and not a cure, but right now I dont have the finances to do rocker replacements (the wheel well seams have a couple spots too)
Can anyone recommend a decent rust converter that's not too harsh on surrounding coatings and easy to apply?
