<<Just found the web site if anyone is interested. I am thinking of giving it a try to slow seam rust until I decide what to do.>> Ezra - I tried a similar product - you'll find several in the "anti-corrosion" section of a marine supply store i.e. West Marine. They all make about the same claims. I've used one - "BoeShield" - supposedly developed by Boeing for aircraft use - on my salt-water fishing tackle for quite some time. It seems to work about as well as oil does, but it isn't as messy. However, I don't think it'll be much use on the exterior of the van. I applied another product - I can't recall the name but is had a bluish color - liberally to the weld behind the front bumper (water collects there) and to one area of a slightly rusty body seam. It really didn't do anything at all. In fact, after a few weeks of driving, it seemed to completely wear off. I have a feeling it works just fine in protected areas that might be exposed to dampness and salt air, but it doesn't really seem to stand up to the extreme exposure to which the exterior of a vehicle is subjected. just my 2 cents...
