Rain on your Z car

Hi stevo_gj

 

Its easy and permanent, phosphoric acid where you can reach, and fish oil, and never worry about it again, a car will only rust if it stays wet as in packed with dirt and crud holding water, keep your car clean in all nooks and crannies, never wash it and park it, wash it and drive it to dry it then garage it. Paint a rusty area with fish oil and it will never rust, but never paint over active rust with anything like paint, or you will drive it the other way straight through the steel

Cheers Len,

 

That sounds like a good solid rust proofing technique. I've heard about never parking your car wet either, that makes a lot of sense. I think when I'm ready to repaint my car I'm going to buy a crappy daily so I can take the Z off the road and strip it properly! I appreciate the advice.

hmmm i used to wash the car take it for a blast to get most of the water off than wipe it clean. prob is the dust sticks to wet car = scratches when wiping.

 

so i stoped driving it around

 

had my s14 for few years i wash it park it wipe where ever i can see than take it for a drive within an hour or so. than wipe the driplets carefull usualy around th emoulding and mirrors get stuck.

 

if hot day i wash it under cover wipe it and stick it on the sun for 30min to dry off
