RUST! How to sort it!
« on: 16 April 2009, 18:29 »
The Valver is pretty much rust free other than two small areas that i want to sort somehow, any ideas?!?, Pictures below. Im also going to wax oil the underside of the seals and the inside of the arches, this sound the the right thing to do?

You can't upload via your hard drive straight to this site, you need to host them somewhere, I use imageshack.us and photbucket.com 


Take your pic and then get the direct link for them, and place them in an image tag here :)

You're welcome man, I will move this to the Cosmetic Matter section though as it's best asked there :)

I sort of disagree with ya, in my experience of golfs the usual rust patches are above the windscreen and under the side skirts other than that they are usually solid cars, although my old r-reg yellow colour concept had a few scabs on the bottom of the doors which i sorted out and resprayed myself, good luck with it, you got a nice golfy there.....
