Just joined the forum after buying 2012 Jazz with 12k miles, from south coast of England in mint condition.
As I’m in Fife, l’m keen to ward off rust starting.
How easy is it to DIY treat ?
Are the companies others have used?
Thanks
If you can jack up a car, secure it safely, wash a car and paint: it's a DIY job
As you will be near the sea in Fife:
1. wash out all wheel arches/sills to remove all mud and salt
2. Leave to dry.
3. Treat any rusty patches by wire brushing, treat with rust preventer.. and then a Rustproofer/sealant (I use Dinitrol 4941)
Vulnerable points: rear wheel arches, rear floor around suspension mounting points, sills in front of rear wheel arches.
Repeat every 2-3 years.
My 10 year old Jazz has been treated like that and looks as new.
I also spray exhaust with heat proof VHT exhaust paint.
Looks like new
