Hello All,
This is in regards to my 2013 KIA Forte, It has a few scuff marks where it looks like it has gone off the road and dragged against the front part of the sub frame when the previous owner had it, the spots are up by the tow hook.. (one of the spots its from me.. dont ask
)
I figure taking care of these sooner than later will help prevent it from getting out of hand since the spots are so small.. a few spots 3 inches in size or less.
KIA recommends to use a wire brush to remove as much surface rust as possible, then to spray the car with cavity wax filler, then rustoleum underbody coat. My local Home Depot has the underbody spray, but I am having trouble finding the cavity filler.
I have also seen things like the rustoleum rust converter, and to me it just sounds kinda gimmicky.. it turns rust into into a protective paint-able surface? If I did use a rust converter does it have to be covered? and if so should I just use black spray paint, or black primer?
Let me know your thoughts, and if you know of a better product, thanks!
