Hello List,
I have to correct some information I gave earlier, I apologise for
misinformation. The rust converter Fertan is not a Dutch product but of
German origin. There is a website www.fertan.de having an English section as
well. I have no connections whatsoever etc but my personal experience is
that it works well on military vehicles: after painting there is absolutely
no difference in texture between treated and non-treated areas and it will
keep for at least four years.
Regards,
Cor
