naval jelly is the best rust removal product that i know of...

and then you need a good discussion of touch-up... we have one in our how-tos at the top of the board. if you dont find it, let us know and someone will track it down

 

ahyes. been there, done that..

I used some fairly mild abrasive emery cloth. It's like sandpaper, but with a cloth backing. I masked the unaffected areas off using tape, unscrewed the fender line and then carefully slowly worked at it. Afterwards, I heated up the area with a heat gun on low temperature to make the paint flow, and used OEM touch-up paint on the area. It looks good, you have to really look at the area closely to tell that I've done anything.

 

thanks for the replies.

where can i find some of that emery cloth?

 

how much do body shops charge to get rid of minor rust spots or defects say on the bumper?

 

you shouldnt have rust spots on the bumper
