The arches on my car are ok no idea if they were done before i got the car but in last few years have not bubbled etc, because of this i am wanting to do what i can to maintain this.
Am i right in thinking a good idea would be to take the arch liners out, clean out any dirt thats collected there and treat them with some bolt hammer hydrate 80 (for any rust thats started) and then coat with the dynax ub??
Other areas where i do have some rust bubbling are on the front wings from stone chips and the area behind the front doors on the curved bit up from the sill - both caused by stone chips i assume.. I am looking to have these areas fixed, any ideas on rough guide on price - i presume they will strip paint back, clean up and then spray/blend - as far as i can see the metal is good and rust is surface??
Having had that done i assume fitting some front mud flaps would help it not come back?
The paint in general on my car is pretty decent, there are some scuffs/chips etc and some pretty poor touchups but until you get close it all looks good so i want to keep it this way - the underneath is in decent condition I'm told and i will be having a good look at this to see if i need to do any preventative work over the spring/summer.
