The most effective treatment after rust REMOVAL is paint.
All these other things are either for a bodge job where all the rust isn't removed, or go on top of paint to provide extra protection.

Thanks Brian this is just to go on top of the outer sill just to protect it after some paint.

All the paint/rust has been removed thoroughly :D

For the outer sills, you should use stonechip from a schultz gun, then give it a coat of colour.

excellent, thank-you, I don't have the kit available to do that, how much would it cost to be done at a garage?

Hassle of delivery, but much cheapness:
