Well going back a few months i remember helping out the JC community by posting bargains for the greater benefit of all, now i need your help with a predicamate which i am in!!
I have a disaster on my hands,
I went away for a few weeks and returned to find miniscule fragments of metal rusted onto all the surfaces of my VZ. Turns out the 'ol boy had been using the angle grinder and shooting pieces all over the show. Unfortunately most of the specs have bonded to the paint and begun rustingI have tried using Kitten no.2 cut'n'polish (by hand) and it has removed about 60% of the buildup, however I cant seem to be able to get the rest off in a timely and safe manner.
I have attatched two images so that you can see what i am talking about, the first is an actual picture i took earlier (you may need to tilt your monitor to see them in more detail ~~sorry!) With the second i have inverted the colour so you can see the damage more easily!
Thanks
Your friendly Just Commodores Bargain Hunter

claybar it
mate it might sound stupid but I did it with my car when I bought it it was covered in overspray and all sorts of shit cut and polish only removed half of it the rest I got off with jif out of the missus sink cupboard and then a polish
WD40. May do it.
mate, years back I did some angle grinding to get rid of some rust off a boat trailer, some of the debris from the grinding wheel got directed onto a glass sliding door. Its still there and impossible to remove.
I think you're pushing shit up hill trying to remove that. Your old man should pay for it anyway.
Ok guys, thanks for your help.
To the previous poster, yes i have clay barred it, it basically has the same effect as the cut'n'polish, albeit takes a hell of a lot longer!
I have come to the conclusion that yes it is the old mans fault, but have no idea south of respraying it (respraying is perhaps a little overkill) on how to rectify it. What i mean is that the old man will be footing the bill - but what/who do i have to do/find to fix this mofo of a problem!?
Oh man i feel your pain, dad scratched my car by driving agains the hedge. buffed out, lucky. Take it to a smash repair shop and they will respray it for a fee
Get your old man to pay for a respray. He broke, he fix. Fathers (and mothers) should teach their kids responsibility, so he should lead by example![]()

if it is really bad ,chop the surface a little with 2000 wet and dry paper ,followed up with a good buff ,this has happened to many many people over the years it is not the end of the world
