There are rust conversion coatings but you are really better off
mechanically removing as much rust as is possible before resorting to
one of them. In the interior of your Jeep, the best option is to grind
it all off using a wire wheel mounted in an electric drill motor. The
only truly effective rust eliminator is sandblasting, but blasting
inside your TJ would cause you worse problems, so a good substitute is
the wire wheel and then paint it with POR-15 in the areas where bare
metal is exposed. No need to use the wire wheel or POR-15 in non-rusted
areas where the paint is still good.
