When my truck was down to the frame, a Steam Genie was used to clean the frame prior to painting. Rented it for about $100 for the day--did a fantastic job of taking off old rust/crud!

Once it is steam cleaned and dry, Zero-Rust it cool


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
