Yeah, I saw the Prep and etch was pretty cheap, thats why I originally asked the difference. I saw that the main ingredient was similar.

It's between that and the Ospho. I was able to find a closer Ace, so I guess it is just gonna be where I get to first. I feel like they both will be good.

Where did y'all find your mask protection? I've gone through so many disposables, which have been great but it adds up, I'm thinking of buying one that I can reuse. I still have to do ceiling insulation and treat the floors.

My vehicle blew a head gasket so I haven't been able to get anywhere lately "/ hopefully I can go get all the floor stuff soon so I can get this all finished.

At this point, only in mind. The body is starting to show wear.

TL;DR Rustoleum Rust Reformer performed the best.

Yeah, I've posted that so many times over the years I quit so I wouldn't seem too redundant.

It goes a long way.

Rustoleum Rust Reformer is the absolute best rust converter I've ever tried.
NOT the spray cans, the gallon stuff.
I saw a post elsewhere that had an actual head to head test of the different ones and the Rust Reformer (not the spray can) won.

I used Prep and Etch; took about 1/3 gallon to treat the rust spots. Having never used anything else to compare, I was pleased with the results. Afterward, I used Rust-Oleum to cover the areas that had seen rust, then a coat of metal primer (a gift from a painter friend) on the entire floor.
