    Hi,
    Just wondering can anyone recommend something to use to just give these guys a seeing to? Their tiny except for the bit where there's grey gunk on it, that's maybe 60mm tall and is leftover gunk from something that was used to buff the van before I bought it and it dried in:o

    I have a scratch cream but haven't tried it yet as I'm not sure if it'll do more damage then good?

    Any feedback appreciated :)

    Wire brush, sander, rust remover, primer, filler, sand, paint ...

    In that order :D

    see it's not even worth all that effort, they are tiny! any quick (lazy man) solutions :D

    The more brutal approach is get an angle grinder, tenderly and carefully grind off the affected area, dab a bit of primer on it and some paint a day later.

    Will last max one year before the rust is back, plus you see the grinder marks.

    But can be done in 5 mins :D

    Ah sure I might just leave it, for a 6 year old van to have only these little marks is pretty good going :)
