I've got to say, I've tried POR-15 three times and it isn't 
magic. If you are ever in Freeport, ME, let me know you can 
stop by and see what the spots I treated with POR-15 in 1998 
look like now. It's not a substitute for proper rust removal, 
surface preparation and recoating. If you do not get rid of 
all the rust and stop what was causing the rust in the first 
place, the rust will return no matter what you put on it - 
Waxoyl, POR-15, peanut butter. I think the only 100% 
effective cure for rust is moving to Arizona.
