rusty

Has anyone done anything to prevent this happening, car is 18month old C63s, I've had it 3 weeks, and the bells are going a really nasty shade of rusty brown. Any chance of getting them replaced under warranty or should I just remove the wheels and paint them with HRP. Thanks in advance:)

Last year i painted my old wheel bolts, and there looking pretty tatty now, i was going to buy some more from MB, but im pretty sure they will just go rusty again. Are zinc plated ones any good from the likes of alloywheeldirect etc? i assume proper stainless steel ones arent available?

Hi guys rear arches are getting a bit scabby on the ml270. I was thinking of grinding them back and treating them to stop them getting worse. Any thoughts?

Hi guys. I have a 2002 W211 with rust on the lips of both rear arches whichI want to catch early. I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who has had it fixed and how long it lasted. I can see where detrius collects behind the lip. I'm thinking pressure wash regularly to hopefully delay...

Just had the car in for some warranty work and I complained about the horrible rusty wheel nuts. They have replaced them FOC for some nice black ones. Only snag is they haven't given me the tool to remove them. Let's see if these rust.

Hi any recommendations for reasonably priced body shop or repairer to sort out my rear wheel arches, in newcastle area please, they're starting to bubble up and won't get better by themselves! Thanks in advance Jon

Before and after shots of work by the good Dave Gate, who is Phoenix Motor Bodies near Crewe. Small business, long waiting list but very reasonable prices and good work. He also cleaned up rust treated the bits he didn't need to weld, zinc painted the interior work and then filled the sills...

As above really! I have a rusty hole!!! I had a stone chip on the front edge of my w208 bonnet, right inbetween the main and low beam headlight, it's been bugging me for ages, so today I poked it.... Bad idea, went right through , I have sanded back all the rust now and I'm left with a hole...

Simple problem, that never had before. I live less than 200 yards from the breaking waves, on the seafront. My disks will rust almost overnight, depending on weather, wind direction etc. Never had this problem before, as never been this close. I now lay awake at night, hearing the waves, and...

Hi I have the all too familiar rust beginning to show on on rear wheelarch. I will probably get a bodyshop to do that one though its very minor and treat the rest with rust killer, zinc primer and underseal. Anywhere else on the car I should treat thats likely to be a problem? Any sugestions on...

:( Hi, just got this otherwise superb 230 clk, but like a lot of these one of the wheelarches has just started to show signs of rust. Not as bad as some I have seen but needs to be seen to before it spreads. I will have to initially pressure wash the dirt off first but then what?. which is the...
