What I want is a substance I can spray directly on the engine that will eliminate rust leaving a surface prepped for high temp Rustoleum.

I have seen some solvents that are in jugs that you dip the rusted parts in... but I want to just spray it on, walk away, come back 30 minutes later, spray off the engine, let dry, then rattle can.

Is this a pipe dream?

Are there options?

The hard part in any/all painting is the surface prep. Number of different ways to clean/prep the surface for paint.....none of them easy. Nothing will stick to grease.....anything will stick to clean/dry cast iron.

 

A good bath with industrial degreaser and a pressure washer to knock off anything loose will go a long way.

Any place that sells pressure washers or NAPA sells gallon jugs of degreaser.

Wouldnt hurt to do it twice a few days apart.

 

simple green and a pressure washer

 

purple power is a good degreaser, i use it to clean my tires, (not wheels), clean spots on the carpet, and clean just about anything that isnt painted lol. You should see the brown that comes from a just cleaned tire once you've purple powered it

sorry that was very off topic lol

 

CLR...... THE WORKS bathroom cleaner.......BUT... no matter how you do it... the Cheap Easy Lazy WAY... never works woth a crap.... it will flake off in no time...
