Buda Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I'm having carbon stone guards fitted on thursday next week, this is due to corrosion on the chrome ones the car came with, I assume the corrosion is due to electrolysis where the ali rivits meet the chrome plated bean can metal. If thats the case then my basic chemistry knowledge suggests this won't happen again, whats the best way to protect/maintain the carbon?, whilst they (the garage) are at it they're replacing my rusty headlights, I'm going to coat the inside with waxoil, any other suggestions.

kenny. Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I used to suffer all the usual corrosion problems etc. even with car in dry garage. I know It's been said before but the purchase of a de-humidifier really got rid of most of this problem. It would thoroughly dry car overnight if it came home wet and the amount of rusting bits and pieces I had suffered just dissapeared. I bought an air-chamber(cheap at Autosport) for new 7 which I'm told will do job even better. I really believe that the investment in anti-damp gizmo's saves you fortune over the years. Cheers, Kenny PS I'm from Liverpool too....live just outside now, where are you based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFA Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 The stuff to protect and restore carbon is Mer Bumper and Exterior Gel. Nothing else works like it! In extreme cases of colour fade, black boot polish is also good.....

Stijn LUYCK 1 Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 All that care ... last Sunday, while dropping my car of to have it checked, I noticed the LHD R500 he was preparing. The complete nosecone was sanded down to get the shine off! The owner wants to do the other bits as well to get a "meaner" look and I have to say it actually work out quite good (Ali body)! The guy is picking up his car this weekend and plans to drive it all the way to Gibraltar ... lucky bastard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
