I got in a black G35 coupe for this weekend. It has a chip about the size of the diameter of a pencil eraser. It has rusted. Will compound remove the rust? I will be filling it in with touch up and wet sanding it level but I don't want the rust to reappear. I'm not used to dealing with rust.
Neutralizing - Washing the paint film surface with a slightly alkaline car wash concentrate and thoroughly rinsing will neutralize the contaminants and remove them from the paints surface Detailer's clay removes imbedded brake dust and other contaminants by encapsulation, thereby eliminating the primary cause Treatment- By applying a suitable cleaner and then a rust inhibitor (POR-15® Products) it will arrest corrosion on contact without leaving a sticky residue that would attract dirt, dust or grime. Corrosion attacks metal by an electro¬chemical (galvanic) reaction with water as the catalyst. It penetrates the corrosion cells, emulsifying the moisture and separating it from the metal, leaving an ultra-thin barrier to protect from further damage.
Richy; i always used surface prep from Malco it helps to clean and promote the adhesion for touch up and for repaint areas we usually do a lot of touch and haven't any trouble using this we sand the chip to take the rust out and then we apply surface prep with a damp foam applicator and then clean the chip with a damp MF towel make sure its complete dry Usually use heat lamp for a 3 min (to make sure its totally dry) and then the normal touch up process Hope this help u :thumb:
