I treat the inside of my frames with Boeshield or ACF 50, both of which were developed specifically for such use in the areospace industry.

Both which don't change any rust already present. But a REALLY good idea any way. Framesaver is much the same. Andy.

True, but they will neutralize a light surface rust, anything heavier than that should be treated with something like Ospho first.
