karstan - February 27th, 2012 at 05:37 PM

hey all

i recently sold my lowlight bus and went out and found myself a rat to rego and slam..

Any tips about how to shine the rust would be great ... iv heard of lots of methods but hear goods and bad on all..
Ankor Wax
Clear coat
Penatrol
etc


Was found in a paddock @ Broke by the previous owner who has kept it as is for the last few years... i got a talking and picked it up the next day

i use ankor wax, although havent given it a coat in a while. penetrol seems to yellow the paint too much for my liking.

I used Lanotech, you can buy it in a pump pack in the paint section at Bunnings, it is based on Lanolin that sheep produce to protect their wool it prevents more rust, has no sheen and biodegrades away and you can reapply, preserves and is simple to use.

Cheers,

David
