Makes me cry a bit inside.

Cleaned 123 yesterday and noticed the winter has been particularly unkind to the arches, and the there are now several patches where the lacquer has come off the paint.

Someone console me at this difficult time, please.

:(

I too have a large area of rust appearing now, and on the other side I chipped a bit of arch paint off to reveal a rusty section of metal... :cry:

Oh well, it was goin to the bodyshop anyway! May ask for them to seal up the inner arches with some kind of waxoyl aswell before it leaves the shop.

Got an engine to do first though :twisted:

I clean him regularly, it's just that this particular lacquer peel is new.

The last thing that will done to the car is the body work restoring, suppose at the moment it makes it less desirable to steal :)
