surface rust in drip rails

A wire wheel in a drill or in a air tool

RUST, in average humidity as soon as you have bare metal, rust is back, a brass brush in a drill lightly used to remove  crunchy bits, no paint removed, i wipe over with Penetrol, rust is stopped/converted. Panel shops often use
de-oxidene, on bare metal which is basically phosphoric acid + water, & when dry, spray a primer, the rust that you can't see is stopped by the phos. which ever way you go, primer is protecting our precious metal, prior to top coat.
Mollasses + water, 1 to 5, or 1 to 9 water, eats the rust, & has no effect on paint. When washed with water & dried, i treat as above with penetrol my safe choice. How do we protect our babies from the rust we can't see, or get to,??? I'm using, CatIII (cat3) by cat systems australia, an electronic device that converts and prevents ongoing rust. I'm just doing it my way. … Penetrol mixes with many paints, & flows beautifully, it's said cannot be used under 2pak, ??
However there is 2pak made in victoria that can be used.!! … When i remember the name i'll add to the post.!!
 
Please forgive my rambling on, i just want my baby to outlive me.!!!
