To do it "right", you need to open up as much of the bike as possible to get access to all of the major tubes.

It does nothing for rust on the outside. Many also argue that it doesn't make much difference on the inside either ( Because, again, realistically, it takes many years for structural problems to show up ), unless you're in the habit of riding regularly through salt water.
