Okay body guys, tell me about rust converters. When I was still working auto body, and we ran into black pitted rust, we used a die grinder to remove as much as possible, then we used rust mort in a few light coats, let it cure 24 hours, came back and removed the excess with a red scotchbrite and plain water, let it dry, then used wax and grease remover and put on our primer (Transtar 2K Kwik Prime). I can't remember ever having any issues doing that, but I talked to a buddy of mine this afternoon and he says Rust Mort is old technology and too aggressive, it can react with the primer too easily.
He uses something called Picklex 20, he said you can put it on the whole panel and you don't have to rinse it off before you put the primer on.
I've not heard of this product before and definitely never used it. He orders his supplies from the same place I do and they do not carry it, he buys it online. The stuff is really expensive, like $90 for a 32 oz bottle, and it's not very convenient because I have to buy it online vs down the street.
Anyone using Picklex? Worth the money and the inconvenience of ordering online? Is anyone still using Rust Mort without issues?
This is the type of rust I'm talking about-
