[C320-list] Interior Rust?

[swampcreek42]

For anything you want to rust proof I'd suggest Master Series rust treatment. It's expensive but it works, available online. They paint bridges, water tanks and rail cars with it. It is silver too! You can top coat it or leave it as the top coat. I've used it on car frames and when I open the next can for my Dune Buggy project I will bring some down to my boat for some touch ups.

</div>Nonferrous brushes (stainless, brass, etc) prevent the contamination of iron on the surface you are brushing.  Common ordinary steel brushes will deposit microscopic particles of iron on the surface you are brushing.  Guess what. The iron deposits will eventually rust and discolor the surface. This is how you can see 'rust" on stainless rails, hardware etc.  Stainless steel that has come in contact with steel chain will show evidence of localized rust.  If the material to be cleaned is carbon steel or cast iron, then steel brushes are fine.  No steel brushes allowed on our boat just for good practice. Hope this helps.
