I try not to use any of that stuff. It is OK at dissolving rust. It is GREAT at removing the original plating. For one, I want the original plating in place. For two, if you remove the plating the chassis is going to rust (more) unless you paint it which make it even less original. I think (your results may vary) that selective placement of navel jelly on very rusty spots is ok. Then seal those spots ONLY.
