Rust Sucks! Washing Out The Rocker Panels on my CRUSTY Silverado 2500

A little different video this time! I've had a lot of requests for seeing more of what I do. This was something I had to do anyway so I just grabbed the camera.
This is my 2010 Silverado 2500 which has spent its life in the midwest, the rust belt. Clearly, the previous owners did not make a valiant attempt at keeping this truck clean and it shows. For those who live in areas where the roads get treated in winter time, you all know what that means.
This truck is a workhorse for me and I intend to use it as a truck, hauling cars, pushing snow, and hauling parts. I bought a truck with some rust because I didn't want to pay more for something I'd use and abuse. Of course, I don't want the rust to get worse. I decided to do what I do on every truck I get, clean it. The rockers, frame, bedsides, all trap dirt, dust, mud, grass, rocks and debris. This holds moisture and when mixed with the corrosive rock salt and brine they treat our roads with, it is imperative to keep things clean or face massive repairs later on.
An hour with a power washer can do a lot of magic, but of course this isn't rust proofing anything. The best way is to clean it, and treat it with several different products on the market.
If you haven't cleaned these spots out its always a good idea. You'd be amazed at what could be hiding in those normally inaccessible areas.

I hope you enjoyed this video. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
