I'm looking for a good remedy to get rid of some underbody rust that is showing up. I live near the coast, which unfortunately wrecks havoc on metal.

Looking for recommendations to remove / keep rust from speeding and then protect for future. Thanks!

While I haven't searched or looked into it for the Jeep specifically, I know a ton of folks that recommend using something like rust reformer and then fluid film for preventative measures.

I crawl under the vehicle every spring with a wire brush and a can of rustoleum. Each rusty spot gets brushed and sprayed. Takes 20-30 minutes and stops the rust from coming back to that spot.
Here is one product I've used with success, you can buy it locally at HD, Lowes, Walmart, etc.
Rustoleum Rust Reformer

case of beer
Eastwoods Rust Convertor
Eastwoods Rust Encapsulator Paint
Pressure washer and degreaser
my preference some wax type coating, this is cost effective and doesnt wash off and breathes

Clean the jeep, Paint the rusty area after cleaning with the converor. Then use the ecapsulator paint. Then shoot everything with the wax coating save the exhaust.

lastly flood all the rockers, inner frames, inside lower doors with Fluid film, they sell flexible wands and I use their aerosol cans of FF.
