I have just washed the car by hand for the first time in ages (it's been far too cold and wet to do it - i do live in Wales after all!!!)

Anyway, I have noticed several small paint chips as you do and I am worried because a couple have gone rusty. I normally touch them up with a Subaru touch-up stick but I cant do that over rust so what should I do? These chips are only 1/2mm accross max but I dont want to leave them to fester!

 

Anyone?? Before my car rusts to bits

 

My car is now a small pile of rusty flakes on the floor

No, seriously - anyone know what I should do?

 

Afraid I don't really have the answer.

but

Try starting a thread in general, sounding really desperate (you do already so keep that up ) and request the mods leave the thread where it is.

 

Cheers mate - I think I will.

 

GOod luck with this. Did u buy the car from a dealer? I believe there's a paint warranty... Sorry, don't know the full details, but check your handbook.

 

I am gonna dig out the manual from under the sweet wrappers in the glove box and have a look - cheers

 

if u have rust there is only one solution...sand down until clear of rust apply rust preventer fill if neeeded and spray
