BullFrog Rust Kit

Been reading up on all types of products. Just seeing if anyone had any experience with this or found it to be "junk".

http://www.theruststore.com/Home-Rust-Kit-P37C13.aspx

The actual rust remover is a gel and says it takes 15 minutes to a couple hours to remove the rust. I will take pictures of my rust because I do have some bubbling underneath my paint which makes me assume that the rust has eaten through my rear panel.

This is what I would be using it on (passenger side rear panel):

Yeah, i'm going to have my work cut out for me. I was going to knock it out a couple months ago but have decided to make it a fall/winter project (other things like locker and winch got in the way, ya know priorities). I may just end up getting some fiberglass replacement panels. Yours on the other hand is definately fixable in a weekend with some patience.

If you could I would be very grateful. I need to pick your brain too about a lift...changed my mind (again I am such a woman).

Gotta do what I gotta do to prepare myself for the snow season. I am hoping to get the Herculiner/POR-15 on before fall.

Oh....wow...that...is...stunning!!!!! @#$%$#....we are so limited here in the states in this way. We simply can't the really good ones without going through million dollar hoops.

What did that baby run you? Who makes them? It says Tonito...is that right?

This BullFrog kit I posted is only $30 I will give it a whirl and let you guys know the results. I am a bit skeptical and I e-mailed them asking them if it truly does kill the rust. They "claim" that it does the job so well (removing rust and sealing) I wouldn't need to apply POR-15. Hrm....
