at any DIY shops or those 'five-gold' shops... : )

I think there is this aerosol spray that you can get. It is a colourless pain spray that u can spray over the easily rusted area. Works just the way as how paint will prevent rust. only this is colourless.

 

Autosol or however u spell it will not prevent rust. It only remove the rust. I spent ytd's afternoon scrubbing off rusts from my phantom. ha. so i know it.

Steel Wool, before it misleads someone ...

 

You can get it at Mustafa, but do apply clear lacquer or rust converter / paint - or the rust will come back in no time.

Don't ever use steel wool. The abrasive effect will cause more rust in future. Then you'll be a slave to polishing. Rust lppl.. because of our humid climate.

 

Best to just get a metal polish like meguaire (spelling nt sure).

Hey dude, any recommendation for rust protector? brands? I haven't come across any. Not sure which is a rust protector.

 

For yourself, if you use steel wool and polish + coat with rust protector, how long till the rust comes back?

me? i also haven started using steel wool and rust protector too. my bike is a new bike as of now.

 

i was quoting my buddy as an example as he had rode his brand new bike for 6 years already. he uses steel wool every 2 weeks with no rust protector.

 

for rust protector, i believe that you can find it at those DIY shops.

Hmm okay thanks, will look out for rust protector coating products & post here if I manage to find.

 

I tried using steel wool before on my old bike. Yeah.. after that.. every time after it rains... rust! =X

[econbizer]

Those interested to get the rust protector, it can be from in hardware shops in shopping malls. And it is called 'rust protector' in a spray can form. Abt $12-15.

thanks buddy!

eliminate rust.. use steel wool or an aluminium foil.. be careful though.. some surfaces are actually painted silver over the metal so it may appear to be pure metal.. the rust had actually formed through the thin layer of paint.. so when u use the steel wool or foil on these surfaces u may damage the finish.. try not to use on chrome areas as it may cause scratches.. or maybe rub lightly

 

convert rust.. use rust converter.. available at autobacs just ask the salesman

 

prevent rust.. a coat of WD-40 every week would protect ur metal like magic.. spray on and wipe off excess with a kitchen towel.. no need to buy those fancy rust protectors.. u basically have to reapply them as frequently so might as well use the cheap and good old WD-40

i found a gd way is to use AUTOSOL den spray lacquer over it.
