Rust remover/sealer?

Spent the last couple hours removing rust from passenger side cab to door area. The factory caulk was loose and the seam along side the door striker was rusted and pitted pretty bad. I've got most of the rust removed mechanically, but i'm worried about it creeping back from the inside.

Using a good rust remover/sealer is the only thing I can think of to prevent that. Anyone got a good rust sealer to recommend? Or any other recommendations? Thanks.

Re: Rust remover/sealer?

I thought about Por15, but it won't help stop any rust behind the panel. I ordered some fast etch from Eastwood. It's supposed to remove rust and prevent it from coming back. I'll need it for some other spots around the truck as well. Got some new seam sealant and self-etching primer from them too.

I'd spray some fluid film on the inside panel.

Thats a good idea. I'll have to find a long nozzle or some way to get it up inside, between the skin and the cab panels though..
