Default rust inhibitor for a driver

i have some minor rust around the cowl/firewall area in my car. it's mostly just surface rust and i want to keep it that way until i can tear the car down for 'restify'. is there a product like POR 15 that i can spray or brush into these tight spots to convert this rust and seal it?

You can probably find some cheap stuff at Autozone, but POR 15 would be the best choice.

I have used the Permatex brand called EXTEND - comes in spray and brush.
Lately, I've been getting generic rust converter at WalMart - being that I
haven't saved up the $100 for a gallon of POR15. :eek:

Almost forgot - you have to paint over it - or the rust will return.

I've used the 'Extend' with good results?
