Removing Rust
Removing Rust
OK, well I decided I am going to keep the Q at least for a while. I just got her, a 99t black/tan about 3 weeks ago. The problem is that I bought her from Illinois and she has some rust on the exhaust and surface rust on some on the suspension parts and various nuts and bolts underneath. I am going to work part time at an oil change place for a few months mainly so I can get up under the Q and take care of any issues under her. Any advise on rust removal, prep, and uncoating would be helpful. I am basically just gonna wire brush her all down and then paint with black rust proof paint and rubberized undercoating after that.

How about just spraying it with a rust inhibitor like "Loctite Extend"?

Re: Removing Rust (tebbnsx)
Anything you put on the exhaust will but off.And it is unlikely that there is rust on the body. I'd worry more about waxing the car body.
