❓ Frequently
Asked Questions
What does this rust treatment kit do?
This kit is designed to remove, treat, and prevent rust on metal surfaces. It includes everything needed to prepare the surface, convert existing rust, and apply long-lasting protective coatings.
What surfaces can I use this kit on?
It is ideal for:
- Car underbodies and chassis
- Sills, wheel arches, and cavities
- Vans, trailers, and metal structures
It works on
most ferrous (iron/steel) metals.
Does this kit completely stop rust?
The kit stops existing rust and helps prevent future corrosion when applied correctly. For best results, ensure proper surface preparation and reapply protection when needed over time.
Do I need to remove all rust before using the kit?
No. Use the wire brush to remove loose and flaking rust, then apply Jenolite Rust Converter Liquid 500ml Trigger Spray to stabilise any remaining rust.
How does the rust converter work?
The rust converter chemically reacts with rust to form a stable, protective surface that prevents further corrosion and prepares the metal for coating.
What is the difference between cavity wax and
waxoil?
- Jenolite Hollow Section Wax 500ml Aerosol is designed for internal areas like box sections and cavities
- Jenolite Waxoil Aerosol 500ml is used on external surfaces like underbodies for durable protection
Together, they provide complete coverage inside and out.
How long does the protection last?
Protection can last months to years depending on conditions. Vehicles exposed to harsh weather or road salt may require periodic reapplication.
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
Yes. This is an all-in-one system with simple steps:
- Prepare
- Treat
- Protect
No specialist tools are required beyond what’s included.
Can I use this on a car that already has rust?
Yes. This kit is specifically designed for treating existing rust and preventing it from spreading.
Do I need to paint over the treated area?
Not necessarily. The wax coatings provide protection, but you can paint over treated areas before applying the waxoil, if a cosmetic finish is required (after proper curing).
How much area does the kit cover?
Coverage depends on application thickness, but typically:
- Suitable for targeted repairs or partial vehicle treatment
- For full vehicles, multiple kits may be required
Can this be used in cold weather?
For best results, apply in dry conditions above 10°C. Cold or damp conditions can affect drying and performance.
Is it safe to use at home?
Yes, but always:
- Work in a well-ventilated area
- Wear gloves and protective eyewear
Avoid inhaling spray vapours
