julie,

i've used POR-15 successfully but never picklex.  i did read some  
mrtg / sales info out of the recent Eastwood catalog saying that  
their rust treatment is superior to POR-15 and doesn't require the 3  
step process.

i'm not endorsing it, i'm just suggesting another alternative.  good  
luck working in that area!  i've found eastwood's products good, but  
a little pricey.
