FTO + Corrosion

Hi all,

I’ve noticed recently that some corrosion has been developing on the roof of my fto.

When I purchased the car 3 years back it did have one blotch of corrosion on the roof but that hasn’t changed/grown over the years so I really didnt do much about it.

Literally within the last two weeks 4 new spots came out, varying sizes, blotched randomly on the roof of the car and none in close proximity to the original corrosion spot.

I have done some reading on corrosion removal and prevention (tad late for this one!) but might any one have some highly recommended solutions for removal before I go experimantal on the car???

Yep, check my guide:

Ive done 2 repairs in the last month now. Basically remove roof lining, get rid of glue (coat hanger). Clear off excess rust (rotary wire drill attachment), rust neutraliser, primer. Sand roof back on top, weld up holes or fill them, prime, paint. Hope this helps.
