Hy Buddies,
I have to treat the floor of the car. Does this stuff speak to anyone, trade RUSTOL ? Someone has a better tip maybe ? When it will be dry, it says i have to put on a coat of paint.

I have not heard of the product but that does not mean it is good or bad. In the UK there are many different products to protect cars unlike here in Canada where there is little of anything useful.

I would suggest using a neutralizer product if there is any rust, after cleaning any loose rust away first.

Do a search on product and you should find lots.

Thos is supposed to be good. Be sure to ice blast the floor panels first. Then use por 15 to cure severe rust spots and cover the rest with this stuff
