I really didn’t know what to expect with this product from the description, but I ordered it as the manufacturer recommended its use prior to painting. Upon receiving it and reading the product composition and application instructions, I see that the chemistry involved is quite sound. It is a phosphate/zinc composition that forms an iron phosphate passivation layer on the metal and the zinc compound then provides (albeit thin) a galvanized surface layer. Worked very well when used as directed. It is important to keep the surface wet for 20 minutes as they direct so the chemical reactions can take place.
POR-15 Rust Remover will safely remove light to even heavy rust completely from metal surfaces and will not affect plastic, PVC, Viton, or most paints.

Rust Remover will not harm unrusted steel and is safe on other metals. Rust Remover has no fumes or bad odors and no VOCs. No sanding or scrubbing required. POR-15 Rust Remover works in as little as 20 minutes for light rust or overnight for heavy rusted metal. All of the rusted areas must be submerged in the Rust Remover for it to work.

I did a lot of researching looking for the best caliper paint for my 2002 Jaguar XKR calipers including POR-15, G2, VHT, Duplicolor, and BCS Automotive (UK). G2 was eliminated since once opened you need to use it since you had to add the 2 components together before using, BCS sounded awesome but not available here in the US. I eventually chose POR-15 (Red) and the results are just fantastic. My XKR is silver with the Red Center Caps and the red calipers just really pop. I could not be happier. I have read some complaints about the results but if you follow their Ste-by-Step instructions you will not be disappointed. Its a fair amount of time to do the job right but worth the effort IMO.
