I have aquired a Dremel - it just seemed the right thing for me, as a bloke, to do - without necessarily having an outcome in mind :-)

At the same time, my winter beater has aquired some rust - unsurprisingly as a sub-£1k product of Longbridge.

I'd like to grind out the rust as best I can with the Dremel, back to bare metal so that I can repaint - it won't be pretty and it won't last, but both are true of the whole car..

My questions for experienced Dremel users are:

What's the best Dremel attachment to clean back to metal a rusty patch of about an inch squared?

and

What's the best Dremel attachment to clean out a stone chip that's starting to rust?

Thanks!

 

I use the brass brush - soft enough to dust off the paint & rust gently and leave bright, smooth steel alone.

 

Glasses / Goggles - those dremels spin quick enough to fire off bits of the cheaper brushes - they sting when they stick in your face

 

Yes - Always were goggles and especially when using metal brushes.

I'm such a blind c unt now I have to wear glasses anyway.

 

When I got my first electric screwdriver, I went round the house tightening every screw in sight. Needless to say, I ripped the heads off most of the brass door hinge screws ...

 

Lol

 

Oh a tool for pussies .

 

Got a stiffie, Chippo?

 

Nope A Dremel does not do it for me, I need a woman , not a womans tool

 

So I get Mrs. HDG to sort the rust?

I like your thinking Chippo...
