A wire brush on a drill...?

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)

I am another who will say the deoxidine on a scotch pad will help you out here.

sweeet will try deoxidine
matt that cage is part of the chassis

where do you buy deoxidine from??


helbus - June 6th, 2005 at 10:17 AM

Any automotive paint supply shop will have it. It usually comes in 1 litre plastic bottle and has a 'corrosive' symbol on the side of it as it is a phosphoric acid.

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