				My worst rust nightmare
			 
			The battery in my '86 930 cracked and leaked all over the trunk.  I have removed the battery and cleaned the trunk, but I'm sure there is something more I should do. Is there some product besides baking soda that I should use? I sort of remember a Wurth product that was supposed to stop rust but can't find it now. I hope I haven't unleashed the rust worm. One of the reasons I bought a later car was to avoid just this situation. Thanks for any help. | ||

			i'm no expert but i feel for you so i *bumped*   if it were mine (failing specialist products) i would get lots of soapy water in there and give it a good clean. rinse. followed up with drying it out. i've used old engine oil for rust preventive for years. (applied with paint brush) good luck

			That happened to my 911SC, but it went unnoticed by the owner, so the front half of the pan is rusted out.  A buddy of mine painted something on it liberally, and the rust pretty much dissappeared, but I'll need a new half pan sooner than later. I don't recall the name of the stuff he used, but if I remember correctly, it was clear, of relatively thin consistency, and was in a quart sized can.

			I suggest you go to the www.por15.com website and order some medicine for your battery boxes...
