Oxisolve is supposed to remove rust, so it is not the same as Extend,
which is supposed to convert rust to an inert, paintable surface.
I wish Extend worked; it would be wonderful if it did. I am here to tell
you, however, that it does not. Repeat, it does not work. I have
followed instructions to the letter, primed, and painted. The rust has
returned within a year every time. Please do not use this as
part of your preparation for an expensive paint job; you will be wasting
your money. Don't use it for a simple touch up, for that matter; you
will be wasting your time.
