There is no loose rust to scrape off. I'm wondering if rustolium paint will keep it from rusting more. It's my 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport and I love this car. Everything is in good shape except for the frame rust up under and near the wheels and only 8000 miles on it. I can't bring myself to give it up yet

Rust can sometimes be repaired. If the rust is not too bad I might sand it, paint over the bare metal and then cosmoline the whole frame.
