There is no such thing as "finite rust." Rust is infinite. Rust never sleeps. 
by the time you can see it--and WAY before the time a panel gets as bubbly as 
the one shown in the ad--its progressed a good long way into the structure and 
only a complete disassembly down to the last bolt, sandblasting on a 
rotisserie, refabrication of lost material and reassembly will help much. Even 
then, the insides of box beams and such are still rotting away.

Mercedes' have the best undercoating I've seen, and rust is long delayed. 
Unfortunately, the envelope is so good, though, that once it's pierced and 
rust starts, it progresses very fast, as the "rustproofing" seals in moisture 
very effectively--and prevents you from seeing how far gone stuff really is.
