How to Remove Rust From a Car Floor

Left unchecked, rust can destroy the value of a vehicle. The key is to stop it quickly and keep up on it, so it doesn't grow further. Fortunately, there are products on the market that can stop rust in its tracks, which makes fixing the problem much easier.

Instructions

1

Scuff up the floor using a red scuffing pad. This will remove most of the surface rust from the floor and get rid of the easy stuff.

2

Insert the wire brush into the end of the drill and tighten the chuck.

3

Use the drill to turn the wire brush and scrub off all of the rust from the surface. This is going to clean up the bulk of the rust on the floor.

4

Apply the rust encapsulator onto the floor where it was rusted or still shows rust. This will stop rust from growing on the floor.

5

Spray the rubberized undercoating over the rusted spot once the encapsulator has cured, usually 24 hours. This will not only help deaden sound but will also add a second layer of protection against rust.
