I have a cargo van so I imagine that my rust/general wear was worse than anything you'd encounter with your van. That being said, mine had a black rubbery sort of floor mat and when I pulled that up there was faced denim composite insulation underneath (which was absolutely disgusting), some small visible rust spots and some bubbled up paint (which had surface rust underneath). I got this wire brush set meant for hand drills, which I don't particularly recommend since my drill (Dewalt 20 volt) did not want to hold onto the round bit part of the brushes no matter how much I tightened it and was a pain. I think most people use angle grinders, which would have been a lot easier. So I ground off a lot of the paint/rust and generously put Corroseal around the rusty areas but I did it on a very hot day and then came back the next day to wipe it off (which was my mistake - I should have left it on a lot less time but even having said that I still wouldn't recommend it), it basically turned into an epoxy and took hours to remove (and there was still rust under a lot of what I put Corroseal on). What ended up working really well for me was making a citric acid/water solution. I put it in a spray bottle, spraying down the rusty areas, let it sit for 30 minutes or so and scrubbed it off (most rust was dissolved by the citric acid and was very easy to clean off, a few areas I did a few applications). As a side note: I had the giant bag of citric acid linked ^ already from something else, for the rust removing I only used a few cups of the 5 lb bag. I then wiped it down with a weak baking soda/water solution just to neutralized any leftover citric acid. Wiped it down a few times with clear water and painted over the whole floor with Rusty metal primer as an added precaution. If I could do it over I'd get an angle grinder (and thoroughly expose/remove the rust), use the citiric acid, and the rusty metal primer. That was ridiculously drawn out, but I hope it was helpful if you end up dealing with any rust!
