Rust Prevention?
Wasn't real sure where to put this post... Sorry
Anyway the 89 is really pretty rust free under and out! The PO did that factory undercoating and it has really held up well but needs fixes. I was wondering what some real peoples reviews on some rust converters are. Topcoat on the underbody isn't an issue just something to convert the rust and prep it. Anybody use anything with good reults? Thanks

I had thought of that, but in reading about it its more of an encapsulant to prevent any further damage, unless i read it wrong. I was planning on undercoating but looking for something to convert the rust first, but thank you for the reply that is definately on my list of items to get serious about.

Obvious answer is move out of the rust belt lol.
But for real lived in Ky for a few years all I can say is wash your jeep a lot especially in the winter when they are dropping the tonage of salt every where.
