In a nutshell, POR15 recommends first cleaning the area thoroughly with a
non-solvant-based cleaner. They then recommend using a "pre-primer" or
etcher containing zink phosphate to maximize the POR15's effectiveness.
They sell a products (MarineClean and MetalReady, respectively) that do
these jobs.  But as I understand it those products are not particularly
unique, and something suitable can be found at a good auto parts or auto
body supply store.  Therefore, I have not bothered to carry them (at least
not yet) - just the POR15 itself.
