well guys i live in cleveland, where the winters are not so friendly and often we get a lot of salt on the road, so needles to say i got some nasty rust. to make a long story short i wanna remove it, so how can i do it. i did it last years with bondo and it came out like shit. imean the rust came right off thru that bondo.

you can't get rid of rust like just wiping it off... either cut it out and replace the metal or sand it down and rebuild it with auto-body filler and repaint.

whats with the 10x?

only way to get rid of it. is to cut it out and replace it with new sheets of metal then re bondo it.....

of if you want.. you can choose to slow the process down by buying rust inhibitor... just stops the rust form spreading....

Pepboys or autozone should have what you need. Shouldn't be to expensive!

my hands just landed on an electrical welding machine. is that the best thing to work with ? i'm gonna do the job at low power first. my car is compromised by rust so i don't have anything to lose if i try it.
