TODAY I CLEANED THE BMW!!



It usually gets a quick wash down with the bikes water but today I gave it a bath of its own.. however I noticed that the rear arches are starting to rust, near side more so. Is there anything worth while putting on to slow or stop this?

WOW!!!!
as for rust, not really, it would of started under the paint so putting anything on top will just hide it tempory until it gets worse.
would have to get rid of the rust then treat plus fresh paint to fully get rid. but then its just a case of how long til it re appears

Thanks Andy, I thought as much. The offside is still under the paint but the near side has bubbled through. The car isnt worth spending the money on to remove it so I'll just live with it :mellow:
