robrado974 1 Posted September 22, 2017 Thanks Delfinis. I will ask Dave at Resto shack about car covers . It's not the best at winter time , but I don't have a garage , she will be on the drive . Apart from a bubble cover what can you do ?. Any cover , no matter the cost will let moisture underneath. Maybe it's better left to the elements with a few coats of wax .

Yeah , it will great to have spot on bodywork again Sean . I need to ask their advice on polish and waxes too ., Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted September 22, 2017 You shouldn't need Polish for a while if they're wet sanding it mate. Wax is very subjective, it depends how much you want to spend, with a toss up between gloss level and longevity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wax is very subjective, it depends how much you want to spend, with a toss up between gloss level and longevity There's so many on the market . All of them promising this n that . It does make you wonder how good they are . In my day it was turtle wax and that was that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted September 22, 2017 Get yourself on detailingworld mate. Some good reviews on all the new products and you'll see what the latest big thing is. Some quite cheap and very good waxes around actually. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazvr6 10 Posted September 22, 2017 No . I will put up the pics when I've sorted this Tapatalk thing ( technofobe ) lol . I've had the roof lip where the screen sits cut out . Both rear quarter windows have had rust cut out . On the rear of the sill on the drivers side the paint had cracked so that's been sorted . I had rust by the rear window wiper and half way up on the tailgate. The bumper had spidering in the paint , so that's been done too . Most of the car has been flatted back ( is flatted a word ?) . Then re lacquered . All other panels have been treated to a full scale polish and wax . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Awsome! It should be good for another 25 years of service! I had my a piller and around the windscreen area rust sorted last year including roof respray, i went for no car cover and wax on the roof while the car sat on my parents drive. No problems whatsoever, just check for bird ****e daily and you'll be fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robrado974 1 Posted September 23, 2017 Nice one Sean , I will take a look . I've got to look after her even more now . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted September 23, 2017 Great stuff Gaz . I had new pillars a few years back , all the rust on the windows is caused by the damage done when cutting out , then not treating it afterwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
