rust.jpg
04 MPV with only about 25k in actual northern weather. It was covered in muck so I brought it to a do it yourself place, a bit of soap and rinsed it off with warm water. This is what it looks like up close. I have found that all of these little spots do rub away down to clean white paint, but what's the story with this? Was it a bad idea to hose it down without really taking care of all of the salt first with a brush or whatever or is it just bad paint or is this insignificant? The only true rust spots on the car that do not rub away is a small one on the back that I plan on gently sanding out and covering with some touch-up paint soon.
