What is the best way to remove surface rust from VW fenders? I have seen lots of videos of people using vinegar, acids, coke, etc. They are too big to put in a bath, so whatever solution is going to have to be a spray on (perhaps some plastic wrap to keep it from running off). |

Naval Jelly.
Home Depot sells it in the paint department. Get a couple disposable brushes, too! _________________ Jimbo

get a big tub fill it with vinegar and a little muratic acid dip the fender in for a few fews days then 80grit wash with baking soda that will kill the rust and save u money _________________ Just Cruzin Sur Califas VW Car Club est♤1998 |

Metal prep. Can buy by the gallon. Put some paper towels on it and keep it wet. Pitted rust I soak, wire brush, soak and sometimes use a pick. Get all the black off. Its converted rust, rust underneath still. |
