I recommend this on a nice hot dry day. You are
going to need to let this dry, windows down/doors open for about
a half a day.

If you are noticing rust here, don't fret! Fit it! Take out
all your stuff, as seen above.
1. Remove CAREFULLY that white coating that's on top of the
metal floorboards. On my right side, it was in about 10
pieces. The left side peeled up nicely though. If yours
looks fine, don't mess with it, you don't have rust!
2. Remove old Rust
Just use a small hand sander and wire brush to remove all the
loose rust you can. Notice the left side picture has been
sanded and all loose rust removed as best I could.
Check this out. It's mid-summer here in Utah (very dry heat)
when I took this picture. Inside the car bakes over 100 degrees
over 8 hours a day, and STILL there is water here.
Remember to remove this hole plug CAREFULLY! It's fragile.
Don't just punch it through, you may rip it.. like I did...
Pull it up.
3.
Tape up the sides of your carpet, so they will not flop down
into the paint. (Notice how the right side has now been sanded
and the plug removed)
4. Now just paint with Chassis
Saver! and wait.
Let it dry, then you can put your carpet back down.
AFTER it's bone dry, Put the pieces back in, if applicable.
While you're here, you can read about my Quiet
Floor Boards upgrade.
There is absolutely *no* smell whatsoever in my car.
I was quiet worried. The paint claims that it makes it quieter
as well as stop rust, but I am skeptical. I can't tell
any difference. But it sure works well for stopping rust.
While you are waiting for this to dry, paint the rest of your
undercarriage. I think it would be easier to just lift up the
whole car on 4 jacks, and take off all the wheels and make a
day of this. Most of it's just waiting for it to dry,
but it's fun.
AFTER it's bone dry, Put the pieces back in, if applicable.
It will take probably 3 hours at least before you can
put back in the quiet floor
mats (silver side down) and the sub-floor-mats and the normal
top floors mats. I think I just let it sit there on a nice dry
hot day for 8 hours+. When I was done, and it was bone
dry, I put back in. If you are scared that it's not dry
enough or hasn't had long enough to cure, don't worry about
it. Just leave your floor mats out and drive around. There
is absolutely *no* smell whatsoever in my car. after this procedure.
