That's the first bit of advertising - if you read the small print it says to remove as much rust as possible and then apply their special de-greaser and then the acid zinc stuff and then the POR-15 black paint that we all know and love and then if the POR-15 is in contact with sunlight (UV) it needs to be coated with their chassis top coat...
