H.M. (the one in Berkhamsted, not the one in London) recommends Frosts Rust Encapsulator.

I do seem to use a lot of it... that's true B.L.

£25/litre though delivered, think Vactan a lot cheaper... might check the stuff out one day soon...

but then the seams I scraped out and painted with RE 2 years ago are still fine.

If/when? summer finally arrives, I've got some rust to attend to. The usual water trap above the front bumper being the most urgent. The bottom R/H corner of the tailgate needs attention as well. Just need a warm/dry spell.

Just had my radiator out and took some photos of where the rust starts from behind that above bumper panel... seen it bad there.

The bumper flange and the upright panel have been wire brushed to death and painted two times now with RE... pretty good condition, saved the day. Now I've attacked it from behind, think will be the end of it...

The old Beetles were superb cars.

Let's just take a reasonable, balanced view of things.

NO! Let's just nuke 'Uddersfelt!
