is sand blasting the best thing, i got some prices for blasting today ranges from $600 - $1800.
or can i use a deoxidiser or is there something out there that i don't even know about.

Steel wool & Deoxidine will get that light rust off quite easily.

what they said ^^^^^

but use a scotch bright pad.

use the steel wool dry (not the soapy type) and rub the wholw thing down then wipe over with dry rag.
the wearing GLOVES apply deoxidiser with a brush, while deoxidser is still wet remove with a sotch bright pad and water.

then dont touch it unless uve got gloves on. (just whack some pressure pack spray paint on it once its dry 😉 )

I agree with pyro. As a sandblaster / panelbeater / spray painter the deoxidine method is the easiest way to do it as sandblasting may damage the roof/panels of the car (if the cage doesn't come out)

If it's corrosive, wouldn't that do more damage in a few years?
