What Tom said!!!!!!!!!
With Epoxy primer on the interior floors you don't even have to top coat it.

Like I said, it belongs in the trash can. If the metal is clean, epoxy
primer it, then top coat it. Epoxy primer is a non pourous primer/sealer.

Thank you all for your input.
I am now thinking twice about using POR-15 on any rust surfaces on my car.
I think I rather use regular sheet metal and patch up any rust damage, which is
the best result to get rid of rust areas.
As for the POR-15, is it just worthless? Can it be better used as a
protectant on non-rust areas? For example, I was thinking of also cleaning the
floor pan with the POR-15 floor kit. My floor is not rusty, but I just want to
clean it up and seal it with a protectant.
Or does anyone know a different protectant that actually works that I can
put on top of NON-rusty areas, such as floor pan and the trunk floor, to keep
it protected from water, moisture, and so it won't rust?
thanks guys
-Eddie

POR-15 literature gives you the impression you can just remove loose rust
and brush. I disagree and would expect that rust would eventually come back.
The stuff is a cyanoacrylate coating that creates a seal to block moisture. My
recomendation is always to remove as much rust as possible. I used it to
prevent the light surface rust or rust in the bottom of pits from ever coming
back as well as taking advantage of its durability and chip prevention. Kind of
a security measure. I did my frame about 5 years back and it still looks great.
I top coated it more for appearance than UV protection as I mentioned on
my website.
Thanks, Dan

it off. Putting some kind of coating over only prolongs what NEEDS
to be
done to fix it correctly.
