I wish I had these results! I did the inside of the floorpan on my Square about 3 years ago, and wirewheeled it extensively. It still looks fine in the areas I can see but the car doesnt leak. I do notice that our floorpans seem to be made out of a "Different" grade steel... by that I mean when it rusts, it tend to grab a hold in specific spots and rot deeply into it or right through... leaving good metal surrounding a hole. Maybe it works better or worse with different grade steel? Hmmm... I still wouldnt use it again.
