Another was viewed for me yesterday. Worse than the last one.
Search now expanded to included non-land cruisers, very reluctantly. Mrs JB has decided on what she wants (E class convertible, with me having a 4x4 which we/she uses when seats needed), and there's a 0% deal on at Merc main dealers till tomorrow. So will need a 5/7 seater to replace the galaxy asasasasasap. Not driven the E class yet and its damned snowing.
Damn.
Any rust treatment is a quack remedy. Once you have rust there is absolutely no point in covering it up. It just gets worse under the surface. Hot soapy water to get rid of all the salt then thoroughly dry then spray with oil is the only prevention worthwhile. Most often the rust is worst where you cannot see it so there is no point of carrying out any protection anyway unless you can get into unseen areas. Trust me I've restored cars since 1959 and if rust cure was possible treatment would have been available then. There is no product that says it will cure rust, so it won't. It's a bit like cancer. There are remedies but not cures. The amount of rust depends on the quality of the steel. In the 80's I worked on 1959 cars that had no protection from new and had no rust. Then in 1963 with the same model car all hell broke loose and they turned to red biscuit in 10 years.
