Ffoxy Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Cars like any other mild steel item will return to their normal state eventually. There are a few proprietary rust proofing systems which are ideally applied at manufacture. I used Finnegans Waxoyl successfully in the past on classics and later modern cars and never scrapped a car. http://www.jlclassics.com/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/jlc?opendocument∂=5 Other products are as good.

Jeff4155 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wax on, wax off.....Polish the car regularly Keep the car clean and fix any scrape marks, worked for my 17 year old Conquest and she is still running around town with a new owner. This was taken 1week before I sold her 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffoxy Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yes for the visible bodywork, if you're lucky rust won't come through the body panels from behind... But what about underneath....? Rot there is expensive to have fixed and is a big car killer. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
