Just give it a wash down with a de-greaser then slap it on. Should work ok.

do what i did on my 205, put it in a car and go pay one of the local garage with a high pressure jetwash... shapoo wash and wax works great :P

go check out the old 'por 15' mate
frost restoration.co.uk


you dont need to get the wire wheel on it with this stuff..
por 15 then chassis coat black on top.

:agree:..oh before you paint it use the metal ready they supply
it blitzes the rust an prepares it for the por 15..:agree:

if you read up on this stuff you will find you will save time an in the long run
keeping it from rusting again/more....normal chassis paint etc is porous an a
waste of time...
