The rust remover process did not work as well as I thought is would. I can only assume it is due to dirt.









I then started to clean the wheel wells and degrease the front control arms. I suppose a gentle steam cleaning will take this quite a bit further.

I see improvement. Consult with the master: Sensa NJ Steve for details on how to get the biggest impact. Thanks for taking us on your transition! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

You really have to do the steam cleaning/degreasing first. All that dirt and oil contaminate the derusting fluid and render it inert before it can even get a chance to work. That was why I pressure washed the underside of my car first. It cleans all the contaminants off of your parts and provides a clean (non oily) area to work with.

Any oil on the parts basically acts as a protective shield preventing the derusting liquid from touching the surface. If I were you I would rent a steam cleaner or a pressure washer (using hot water) and then buy a new batch of derusting fluid.

What does it say on the shampoo bottles? LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

You are correct. Kinda surprised me for a 25k car. Judging from the caked on grease from one side to the other, it must have been that way from early on.
