E-Class Rust, Just How Bad Does it Get?

[davidsl500]

The touch up brushes are always to big for small stone chips and you can make quite a mess with them! The best way to apply the paint is to use the brush to drip a bit into the cap and then dip in a slightly sharpened matchstick and dab into the chip - much more accurate. Need a few coats and dont rush it - Usually takes me a few days per chip!

For prevention of rust try www.rust.co.uk Ive used these products a couple of times and cant recommend them enough. Seems like the best thing to do is to try and prevent rust from happening in the first place and for £120 its a lot easier than trying to get money out of the stealers, and will end up alot cheaper in the long run. just a suggestion!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT !

Surely they have SOME responsibility for fixing your car......................I had a plumber come to my house to fix a leaky loo and he promptly broke something else whilst fixing it. Needless to say I was less than chuffed, especially as he said "oh that always breaks, you should have known that".
At six feet one and the wrong side of twenty stone, I suggested that he might want to fix it if he wanted paying, and it might be an idea to do it whilst he was there. He did !
