Rust Bullet has a 10 year guarantee. This is the first product that I have used that actually works. Tried POR and it pealed on my motorcycle tank. The trick on RB is to get thin even coats. They say at least two I usually go with 3 or 4.

Love POR-15 - absolutely the best.
Trick is not to put it on a cleaned or new surface. It works best on surface rusted surfaces or old metal as long as most of the scale has been removed.
The other trick is that you cannot leave it exposed to sunlight. It needs to have a top coat of anything you want to protect it from UV degredation.
Its the only stuff that has lasted on the engine mounts in our boat - everything else tried prior to POR-15 peeled and scaled off within a year or two.
I'm using it extensively on a Citroen DS rebuild as well - under chassis, tyre wells, fuel tank compartment and interior floors etc. Some of its been there almost two years now and even with work going on around it and being exposed to weather (not direct sun though) its very difficult to chip and I've not had any peeling or deterioration.

I second the POR-15 endorsement. Its held up on my chassis, door bottoms and sections or rocker.
