    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Protecting a chrome fender?

I've got a chrome fender that had some VERY tiny rust spots on it which buffed out easily with a little Mothers'. It's also got some rust on the underside, which of course is common.

What should I do to prevent the small spots on the top from coming back, and the rust underneath from getting worse?

Should this have been posted in Technical?

And for the inside? Should I attempt to buff out that rust as well?

I would buff it out with a soft wire brush. Then get some of that undercoating spray from the parts store. Put a light coat on it. That should keep it from rusting further.

Great. Thank you. I just didn't want to do anything that would make it worse, you know?

Just make sure it's as clean as possible before you spray it. That undercoating stuff is pretty tough.... it should hold up well.
