Default Rust treatment

Can anyone tell me what is the best product/brand to treat rust spots? and what kind/brand of primer is best to use on new/bare metal?
I was told acid etch primer is the one to use is that so?
Im welding my fiesta in a barn and its rotting as quick as im welding it iv polished the new metal then used halfords primer on it but is getting surface rust kreeping through. also the original floor pan that has a rust hole is getting worse so id like to treat that before i sort it
