Ron,
A couple of years ago I bought a bottle of rust "neutralizer ?" called 
EXTEND.  It cost two or three dollars at the auto parts store, and is 
made by DURO, the BONDO people.  I planned to use it to stop small rust 
spots from becoming big rust spots, and it did the job.  EXTEND is a 
milky liquid that you apply to the rusty area with a small paintbrush (I 
used some cheepo artist brushes).  It dries in a short while and turns the 
rust area black.  I guess it works by preventing air from reaching the 
rusty area.  Just this past weekend I used it on a small rust spot on my 
Toyota and then painted the EXTENDed area with touch-up paint.  It worked 
great.  I think this product is great for getting a couple more years out 
of your car, but I don't think it is intended for use on anything but 
surface rust.  Try some, it is only a couple dollars, and let me know 
how it works.
