Default Rust converter.
What do you all think about wire brush sanding and using rust converter on my axels, exhaust, etc?

Axles, yes. Exhaust, probably won't have the best of luck. That's hard to get clean.

Thanks much. Also I see a lot of black axels. Is this what they have done. Used rust converter?

Make sure you use a good paint though. Better that the paint chips from abuse rather then just buying cheap paint

I sand blasted to remove the majority of the heavy rust then used Eastwood After Blast. Next was the rust converter and then their chassis black paint.
