Do FD\'s Rust?

[gsb876]

Wax probably 3 times a year, no rust at all  :wiggle

I have a 95 UK car - little bit under the rear arches and a tiny bit not yet through the paint on the rim of the sunroof.  The arches have 2 layers of metal? are these easy to get done and should they be done sooner rather than later?  I also wax the body quite a lot every year.

Ok, but are you chaps actually using Waxoyl or an equivilent on the underside of the car and inside any box sections, inside the bottom of the doors etc, or are you only waxing the paint?

[Ricco_04]

Not using any prevention stuff at the moment but I think I will re-seal (want a full rust check first to make sure im not sealing over rust etc)

92 fd, no signs of rust anywhere. The laquer is starting to causea lot of problems though.

mine was waxoyled when it came over small dot of rust on rear hatch where paint had chipped & wasnt noticed. no rust on rest of exterior body or underside , a little starting to show where the steel arches where cut away but think this is mostly to from tyre rubbing waxoyl away. Nothing on wings or bonnet, but they\'re wouldnt be cos they\'re f/glass

Waxoyl will absorb into the rust, so if its only surface rust, a bit of waxoyl will prevent it getting worse.  You can buy clear waxoyl too if its in a place where black oily streaks will cause comment...

I wouldnt like to baremetal it to find out if there is any other rust, 4 days paint stripping & DA\'ing a hillman imp this week has been enough
