I&#8217;ve got an entire truck that needs rust prevention, so what best to use? I watched a friend use Eastwood products on his Sprite (English sportscars of the 60&#8217;s rival US vehicles of the 70&#8217;s for their ability to spontaneously dissolve), and thought they worked pretty well. After some basic research, my original thought was to use Encapsulator in an aerosol can, but as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eastwood.com\/rust-encapsulator-rust-converter-paint-car-auto-rust-protection\">I dug into the online materials a little more<\/a>, I came to understand that Converter was better suited to my needs. Converter is a two-part acidic paint that converts rust to an inert oxide, while Encapsulator seals rust off and keeps it from spreading. Yes, I need to seal it off, but Eastwood says Converter is better for heavy rust, which is what I&#8217;ve got.
