Hi Clive

Here's a picture of the rust on the nearside front arch of the SLK. Is this something that I could tackle at home? A couple of other arches have some signs of rust but this one is by far the worst. We've had the car from almost new and I always religiously clean the mud/salt that accumulates on the inner lip. It's a shame as the car is completely clean otherwise.
