My vote is still for Picklex20.  I did a ton of research on this topic
last year, and I couldn't find a better product (especially for what
Julie needs it for).  It's a metal surface cleaner, 100% rust
converter, rust inhibitor, and protective coating all in one step. 
Like I mentioned, the only drawback I can think of is that epoxy
primers aren't recommended over it (regular primers are fine).

Compare any of the other products mentioned to the specs on this page:

... and I think you'll agree that this stuff rocks.

Later,

Mark.
