The exhaust will always rust, doesn't matter what car it is. I think you need to take some good pictures and post them so we can really see what's going on.ithinksgreen wrote:It is on the frame and exhaust
Most people in this forum don't understand why we (Canadians) try to fight with rust? We have to fight!!!! Yes at the end we may lost, but we have to F I G H T T T T Tithinksgreen wrote: Now what do I do? Anybody in similar situation ?

http://www.thestar.com/life/2007/09/15/ ... _wash.htmlThey [commercial car washes] must separate out solids, as well as grease and oil, for proper landfill disposal. The water left over goes down sanitation sewers that flow, like the ones in your home, to a city facility for treatment.
your gonna sand down all the metal under your car? you do realize you will never, ever, EVER, rust proof the bottom of the car - right? even if you leave a speckle - its gonna grow again. rust is alive.christo89 wrote:What I plan to do???
- Sand down the rust with buffer/brushwire/sanspaper and painting or rubberrized coating it. (It depend of the part).
- Calipers and rotors sanding + paint them gloss dark grey / black(for the rotors).
I will not do the entire car... but for exemple, I'll put a layer or 2 of black paint before installing my hitch... and part visible from the exterior of the car... not to much.ImStricken wrote:your gonna sand down all the metal under your car? you do realize you will never, ever, EVER, rust proof the bottom of the car - right? even if you leave a speckle - its gonna grow again. rust is alive.christo89 wrote:What I plan to do???

and your gonna sand your calipers? rotors? = its cheaper and easier to replace them. but unless you powder-coat them - they will rebuild rust in a matter of months. they heat cycle so paint will crack and chip in months time.
i think you folks are wasting your time doing all of this. you simply cant sand your way to being rust free. if rust is present - unless it killed and chemically treated = its only covered up. and its gonna continue to grow and spread under your covering.

brakes heat cycle. that causes rapid changes in metal structure. good luck keeping the paint from chippingchristo89 wrote:I know caliper paint it's not as durable as powder coat, but with a good prep, the paint will last more than months.

I totally agree. That's why I never took my car to "rust proofing". Plus they spray the whole body including delicate rubber parts/hoses.ImStricken wrote: 2. i am against so called "rust proofing" because its a task not easily accomplished. it will require either brand new parts, treated, and then coated in rust proofing paint, or the old parts properly cleaned, treated, and coated in rust proofing paint. simply cleaning and sanding will never remove rust. such a task should be called "Rust Masking".
they dont. they cover up those area's. very often leaving an inch or so of metal parts uncovered. they cant spray exhaust parts, parts that move, parts that get hot, etc - because it will burn and go on fire. "rust proofing" is a scam. not everything gets rust "proofed".Qashqai wrote:Plus they spray the whole body including delicate rubber parts/hoses.
Use POR15 or another good rust product(such as Loctite Extend) while following the instructions and you won't be repairing the same area over and over again. Work smarter not harder!Qashqai wrote:I just love to repair a rusted area, which is visible from 10 meters away
I know it will rust again and I can't stop the oxidation (wit all the air and salt around me)...but I love to "baby" my Rogue...
