Recommended brands and products (liquid/spray):
- Brunox Epoxy: A two-component converter to primer, very reliable and effective.
- Wurth ROST OFF / Wurth Rust Converter: Often used by professionals, works quickly, creates a dense layer.
- Body 905/906 (or Teroson VR 625): Converts rust to primer, applies well.
- Liqui Moly Rost Stop: An effective product based on phosphate acid.
Application method for hard to reach places:
- Aerosol can: Ideal for spraying into hidden cavities.
- Long-handled brush: For better control.
Important tips:
- Pre-cleaning: Remove as much loose rust and dirt as possible.
- Follow the instructions: Follow the manufacturer's curing time.
- Complete drying: The surface must be completely dry after the reaction.
- Protective coating: Be sure to apply a primer (preferably epoxy) and anti-corrosion mastic/paint over the converter.
Given the age of the Mustang, choose high-quality, proven brands for long-term results.
