I'll look into Zerorust.
Media blasting is out of the question. I am sure that is the best approach though.
Is the Home Depot stuff just an etcher?
Can't quite read the label, but if it's phosphoric acid based, then it will convert iron oxide (red) to iron phosphate (black). Still requires some prep work to get rid of the loose rust first so that the surface ends up being solid, and still requires protection after (primer/filler/paint).

I like Evaporust. It seems to Eat the rust away completely as opposed to sealing it up. As a bonus, it's not very bad on you skin if you get it on you. Supposedly you could drink it but I wouldn't try it.
Funny thing about phosphoric acid ,it is in potato's ... the old folks would always clean their iron skillets and then rub them with a fresh cut potato to keep them from rusting! they even stuck the iron knifes in one also. I don't know about this product but,OSPHO has a "DICROMATE " to inhibit rust which is the second benefit after the conversion of existing iron oxide. you definitely would not want to drink it [OSPHO]..

I know this comes from time to time, but there is always something new or new experiences to share.
So, looking for some coating to use on a truck cab. I have used POR-15 and KBS in the past with good results, although seems like a lot of prep work.
What works for you guys?
this is one of the absolute best products you will ever see. it is a heavy weight knock out champ of champions ! http://products.bowersindustrial.com/ite...ating/item-1009

Yes and I was so impressed with it I am now a dealer for them (and just in case anyone is wondering, I only sell it locally so my post is not some sort of thinly veiled sales pitch). It does everything it says it will on the website.
I compared it directly with Evaporust (which is also a very good product). Basically it does the same thing but with a few advantages. It costs a little less than ER for two reasons, #1, it is roughly $85.00 for 5 gallons (shipping can vary that a bit) which is less than ER usually costs around here, and #2, I've found that it will last longer/processes more rusty parts before it stops working.
While both products attack only the rust causing no damage to good metal, plastic, paint markings, etc. SRR is a thinner product, nearly the consistency of water while ER is thicker, something similar to antifreeze. Because of this you can use a recirculation pump to pump the SRR over the parts (for larger parts or areas this is critical because you need to submerge parts entirely if using ER) you can pump ER over parts as well but it's thicker viscosity can overwork and burn up pump motors.
It leaves a nice clean surface on bare metal. Once I remove parts from it I don't even rinse them off, I just wipe them with a clean rag and let them dry, this keeps the parts protected from flash rust for a few days (or longer). Once I am ready to treat the parts with paint or rust protectant like ECS's RPM, I simply wipe them down with wax and grease remover and treat them as normal.
*FWIW I've used EVERY rust removal product mentioned on this thread and can honestly say that while each is a good product for it's intended use, nothing with the exception of ER comes close to SRR when it comes to the job of efficiently removing rust from parts in a safe manor (that won't etch, dissolve, or damage, good metal or other parts).
