Ospho mentioned in one post does something like that,


As I understand it Ospho, which I've used, is not a rust killer per se.
What it does is neutralize rust so it stops "growing."  You have to
paint over Ospho.  According to what I remember of the instructions
you're supposed to remove all scale and anything you can get off with a
grinder, sander, or needle scaler, then apply the Ospho, then paint the
surface.
