Can a newbie control rust? or Honey I Think I Finally Found THE Car!

Yeah, I'll either wear an organic filter or borrow a buddie's fresh air hood. I'm still reading about this stuff, but I'm wondering how you rinse the two prep steps inside a trunk or floor pan with only surface rust / no drain holes.
wet/dry vacuum? The second step does not get rinsed and is mostly for smooth (not rusted) metal the way I see it. If you have clean dry surface rust (no scale) you have the perfect environment for the por15 rust encapsulation. I wouldn't use the metal prep on that but I think you can if you want too.
