Rust issues? 03 Civic EX coupe in Colorado
Some of the chips on the hood and front fenders rusted. Wiper arm chips rusted. Both rear fender lips where rocks could hit them have rusted.
Not deep rusting, but rather just surface rust. Friggin annoying. My non-7thgencivic that is a 1992, with a chip peppered hood, has ALOT less of the problem than the Civic.
Anyone else noticing the subpar corrosion protection on their 7thgen?

The rear fender lips chips rusting might be an issue though. I am tempted to just coat the whole lip, and repeat as necessary.

Rep Power: 252 That will really depend on the amount of rust you look to remove. You want to use the least abrasive one to get the job done so that you dont over do it. Where on the car is the rust your removing?
