Rust converter?

Can anyone recommend an effective rust converter / neutraliser that I can apply to my window frames? They appear basically sound, although there are a couple of small areas where I could do with stopping it getting any worse... :shock:

Thanks in advance...

Having read reviews in the Classic magazines I was steered towards Bilt Hamber products and to date have been very satisfied. Used their rust converter, rust remover and epoxy mastic.
The last product I purchased which have found brilliant for inside the door beams and difficult places was dynax S50 comes with an injection lance ideal for wax injection without getting messy.

I used Jenolite on my old VW Camper wheel arches last year and can recommend that.

But that said, I've just bought Bilt Hambler's rust converter to try from Opie Oils. I spotted it whilst browsing for 10/60 (thought I'd also have a change and try Gulf oil instead of the usual Castrol). Also bought Bilt Hambler's wax coating - both for the Clan's rear suspension cross-member ...haven't tried either yet mind you so can't say how it compares to Jenolite

Jenolite has been around for a long time and is a straight-forward phosphoric acid gel formulation - and it definitely works.

Happy consumer of Bilt Hamber here as well. Check out the difference before/after with these front suspension components. Only a light wire brush after soaking in the rust remover solution.

AFAICTFTP :wink:, looks like a better effect than Jenolite tbh... can't wait to try on the Clan x-member.

Thanks for your thoughts gents, Bilt Hamber certainly seems the way to go.

Bilt Hamber's etch primer is also excellent once you have removed the rust.
