There are some other products which are POR-15 like.

Three of which are:

Zero Rust
Rust Bullet
Rust Encapsulator

I just bought two quarts of Zero Rust. Apparently its a heck of a lot less toxic than POR-15, and is safe to spray if you are interested in that, rather than painting with a brush.

Prep work is key. Marine Clean and other products like Naval Jelly all use the same active ingredient: Phosphoric Acid. You can buy this stuff super cheap at Home Depot and mix up your own batch, rather than spending a bunch of money on a pre-made product.

I would take the time to whire wheel/brush everything before, then use the acid to neutralize the rust, then use your rust preventing sealer.
