plans
i was planning on using rust doctor on my rear wheel wells.
and maybe on my door edges.
i was gonna try using it for my underbody rust
but after reading it seems like that por 15 is the only way to go.

It depends on what kind of condition each part is in. I don't use POR15 on every point but I use it in alot of key areas. Any pictures for us? IS the steel rusted holes or just surface discoloring of rust?

Wheel wells are a pain because of the seams. Once moisture gets in there, it's very hard to get it out and any product like POR-15 will seal it in. Though POR-15 sort of "absorbs" the moisture during the curing process so it will be much better then nothing.
Rust holes need to be filled and all loose rust needs to be removed before any coating is applied.
My personal experience says that POR-15 is the best out there.

Yeah, good point. Don't spray POR-15 unless you know what you are doing, wear a respirator, etc. Also keep it off your skin unless you want to wear it for 6 weeks, and don't let the solvent touch your skin unless you enjoy chemical burns...
Been meaning to try ZERO-RUST for a while...

-- Just a reminder for RUSTS!. --
Check your **** out before it's too late. (Mostly Under the car, doors, anywhere!..)
I found a couple of rust spots while the car was up. Wow, that could've been pretty bad If I didn't notice 'em., specially that winter is coming. . . snow, salt, calcium, water, this and that.....
Treated with some Rust Treatments...(better than no treatment)
I did the wheel wells a while back with some rust treatment/prevention and sealant. Hushed the noise a bit too...
I don't have carpets so it's easier to spot from the inside. I only have mats.
GoodLuck.

Is this Zero Rust and POR15 ok to use on bady panels that will be finished, or is it just for things that wont matter what they look like too much? I have some rust under my passanger side door trim thats pretty deep and pitted. Would i just apply it like it says, then a light layer of filler or primer over it, then sand smooth and paint? Wasnt sure if it was meant for a clean finishing job or not

You can use POR-15 on panels that will be painted, but you MUST follow the instructions carefully. If you intend to paint over POR-15 you should use their primer on top of it. At the very least, you need to rough up the POR-15 with sandpaper so the paint will adhere.
