8ntruck 7,004 #1 Posted August 4 (edited) Going to take care of some surface rust on a battery tray. Figuring on starting with a baking soda wash to neutralize any remaining battery acid follow up with a wire brush to get to bare metal. What have you folks used on your battery trays? Think a spray on truck bed liner would be a good choice? Edited August 4 by 8ntruck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't because I wanted a vibration reduction or to protect the battery. That was a good side effect though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
