Rust mitigation?
Well.... finally that dreaded day has come! I notices a couple of rust spots starting near the license plate mounts on the trunk. Each about 1-2 mm diameter.
What options do I have?
Watching my toddler grow up, my hair turning gray, rust on the car... I guess they are all inevitable, but all these things are happening so quickly |
do you have pics?
|
Ya pictures are critical in this case.
Without seeing responses can range from “meh don’t sweat it” to “oh my god trade it in now”. |
Pics would be super useful. I will say, depending on what it is and the severity If it's 1-2mm in size it would probably be best to just neutralize the surface rust and paint over it with a paint pen or something similar fashion.

I put some rust inhibitor last night. There is another one of these spots behind the license plate.
Now the rust inhibitor won't come off!! Gosh, one problem is breeding another! |
that looks a lot larger than 1-2mm!
now the course of action is: a. bring to professional b. wet-sand, touch up, wet-sand, touchup, wet-sand, mild buff, clearcoat, wet-sand, finish buff, wax. c. leave it. |

Autocorrect edit: hand washing (not handwriting!)
I have lost faith in all of my abilities at this point �� including hand washing the car. At some point, my sanity is more important than a couple of hundred $$. I'll let a professional deal with it. |
the neverending personal struggle!
can i functionally do anything/everything? yes. do i have any experience? rarely. do i have the time to take 5x's longer than someone that knows how to actually do it? haha. ha. |

The gals down at the supermarket are doing just fine. Some of them aren't nearly as pretty, since they quit wearing masks - :iono: |
