Answer 1

Use a galvanising paint, which is a high zinc concentrate paint. For prevention in marine environments an anode is used which is a lump of zinc.no idea how this works (to do with electrolysis) but you can google and find out.

Answer 2

Remove rust spots as soon as you notice them. The smaller the rusted area is when you get to it, the better. The rust will be easier to remove, and you can prevent further rusting and irreparable damage from corrosion. If you wait too long to remove rust the damage, and repair, will be more noticeable and take longer to finish.

OR

Phosphoric acid is a chemical solution known for its rust removal properties. When applied directly to rusted surfaces, the phosphoric acid converts to the iron oxide (rust) to a water-soluble phosphate compound that is easily scrubbed off. Phosphoric acid is usually available commercially in liquid form, but is used more often as part of a gel, called "naval jelly", which is more applicable to most surfaces. Phosphoric acid is highly toxic and you should always take general safety precautions (gloves, long sleeves and pants, safetly goggle, breathing mask) when using it to remove rust.

Answer 3

The best way to prevent Rust is........................KEEP IT DRY.

If thats not an option............................Add a Coating.



Apply a primer and finish with paint. If you see signs of rust over the years, Sand it down to the bare metal and repeat the above.^^



There are those products out there RustStop ect that you spray on the rust. These are only temporary fixes...they will hit the top coat of rust, but the rust could allready be spreading thru metal below. Cheers!!!

Answer 4

Well if the rust is caused by road salt you can get a type of "wax" for your car that prevents it. The only down about it is that you much wipe that area off every time to drive. Otherwise just wash it with a cleaning ajant and water.
