i was wandering if there was any type of chemical that i could use to get the rust off my car at this early stage if it develping? or some sugestions would realy help thanks guys.

 

I was wondering the same thing. I'm having a rust issue with my '94 Accord. There was just a little spot by the rear wheelwell when I bought the car last year but now it has started slowly spreading. I'm hoping there's something I can do before I have to do any actual body work.

 

you guys should have both takent he rubber off the wheel well rims.

i'd still suggesnt doing it now... but yeah, it's a bitch

 

is this prone to catching/collecting water or something? :thinking:

 

yeah, it's called honda rot, it happens on most hondas.

i took mine off a long time ago and i make sure i blast off the shelf every once and a while.

 

yes most hondas are famous for catching water/deposits on that lip and rusting out at the quarter panel..i removed the rubber trim and even rolled my fender well to help prevent this....most kinds of rust dissolver/encapsulators should work...solutions are spraying some undercoating underneath in that are..helps too

 

Yeah, there is a product called Extend... it's designed to stop and prevent rust. Go to a local autozone or NAPA or something... I just did this on my car this summer. Had rust (though the metal) on the rear wheelwells, and we sanded it, sprayed it, and bondo/fiberglassed it (then alot of sanding, and then paint), and looks good as new.

I don't have a before pic, but here's a few after pics...




Good luck, if you need any help or anything, let me know. This process took about a week of on-and-off work... an hour here, an hour there, etc. If you really worked on it all day, you could probably have it done in less than 2 days.

 

:eekno: your bodywork skills are teh suxors

 

well its just developed only on hte passenger side for some reason. maybe i can explain it like this... look at the pictures and look at the wheel well just behind the door thats where its develping on my car but i have a 2door. its on the inside you can see if just by standing there and looking, you have to bend over and look inside the wheel well to find it. there just little balls of rust but i wanna get them taken care of with maybe a solvent or chemical without havin to cut up my car and sanding the hell out of here. i washed my car regularly at a splash and dash laser wash.

 

considering what it looked like before... vast improvement
