Repair unsightly rust before it's too late.
If the car has a natural enemy, it's rust. Left unattended it's unsightly and unsafe, but can be repaired with the right products and a bit of effort. You can keep your car in top condition by checking your body work as often as you check your oil and repairing rust spots as soon as they appear.

How about the inside of the panel as rust can find its way through, also the "fibreglass" should be ground a bit lower for the filler to be applied then sanded even for primer filler.

[@driftrich]

it doesnt have to be right, its just gotta look right, said the car salesman

[@bluebellbus70]

Man, I'm sick and tired of all these self-righteous "bodymen" constantly whingeing about how this "isn't a proper repair" or this is just a band-aid. Why spend hours on a "professional" repair on a car that likely won't last past the repair itself. It is a "temporary" repair, because it's a temporary car...

[@steveperez4647]

What if you have a classic... That you plan on keeping forever.

[@danielleewild]

couldn't have said it better myself.... cardboard some fibreglass filler few Tina of spray good as some new cars 😂

[@me4654]

Steve Perez if you are doing a classic car I'm sure you have done your research as this is a very costly & it's an investment. So stop being a smart ass! you're age is showing in your maturity level

[@timdeakin2524]

Rubbish, this is a terrible technique used to "con" or "deceive " people!!!!

[@johnterpack3940]

@@steveperez4647 then you probably wouldn't be looking for shortcut tips on a channel called "supercheap". I have two cars in my driveway right now that both need rust repair. One might get a hack like this, the other certainly won't. That's how rational people function, they choose the appropriate tool/method for the situation at hand.

Love POR15 👍

Bro i cant fucking understand

[@clunk54]

if your'e not cutting out rust and welding new metal in,then repairing this way is o.k.,as long as you grind out the rust totally- be really brutal- don't leave any rust-pits behind. then,once youv'e filled the holes,painted it and finished the repair, coat the back of the panel in engine-oil,to stop,or drastically reduce,rust coming back in the future.

[@Encryptus1]

Cavity wax from the inside works great 😉

[@2steaksandwiches665]

Honestly everyone just needs to go use real metal. I paid extra to have my body shop do it right. They sent pictures to show me what they cut out. It was good work

[@mrmidnight32]

This isn’t fixing it. This is just covering it.

[@phillipjack1098]

If you maybe so happen too listen a little you’d understand why, rewatch the video start to finish and listen to what’s said because if you’d had listened you would have heard him say clearly that it’s not the 110% best way of fixing it no but you’ll save thousands over paying to get it welded up 👍🏼

I used card board several times !

[@chrisstrebor]

Same lol

[@gregh7457]

this is'nt a "repair" this is a band-aid. the filler over the top of rust will accelerate the rust by absorbing and trapping moisture inside the panel. a real repair involves cutting out all rusted metal and welding in new

[@pipo255]

good answer

[@DudeRevolution]

But wouldn't hammering out most of the attached rust make the re-growth rate almost minimal to none?

[@gregh7457]

rust never sleeps

[@DudeRevolution]

How effective are these rust-destroy products? I am fixing a van and am planning on attacking the rust with it.

[@gregh7457]

DudeRevolution rust converter works pretty good but you can't put bondo over the top of it. rust converter and then primer then a spot putty is better than bondo over rusty metal.

[@baldy194859]

I used cardboard several times and didn't hurt anything !

[@southerngent716]

Only treating/repairing one side will not stop the rust. It will continue to rust on the back side. It can only be eliminated by cutting the rusted areas out completely. I know this because I worked many years in the auto repair business and I currently work at an auto factory.

[@DemCamow7179]

Not good! That's not a good job. Just replace that with a little piece of metal. Few minutes of welding and will be ready to prep and paint!

[@George-ie1si]

in most cases you can't get behind the panel and it will continue to rust any way, most of us that own old cars just want them to look good who cares whats under the paint.

[@calebmarshall3356]

@@George-ie1si while i do agree it all depends on the application like I'd use this on my car but depending on how bad it is I'd cut and weld new sheet metal but for little job like this on my old beast is a completely acceptable but for my trailer or the roof of my old navara it's not lol It all depends on how bad the damage is

[@LGR_LGR_LGR]

No body seems to fix the rust on the inside,like mould if you see it ,its on both sides.

[@noampitlik2332]

Indeed. And this was a great example of that problem. Oh well.

[@ttiization]

To be honest, the only problem is on the inside. The surface on the inside need a repaint. People say this doesn't work, but it does, as long as you remove all the bad parts. You do not remove the rusted parts the inside will keep rusting and going through the door appearing behind the paint again. But using filler does indeed works

[@radionutio81ij79]

Quite a good repair but being a rocker panel it has to be welded that hole has lost quite a lot of body strength, and filler and glass fiber cloth will not give that damaged point its full strength, any body panel doors boot bonnet and front wing panels can be repaired with filler but not the main safety cage locations and that was one of them, and any location within 12 inches of a safety belt point or sub frame mounting point. Any way with the amount of time taken to do that repair, it would have been quicker to plasma cut out the dead metal and weld in a patch making the repair stronger and longer lasting.

[@MrHoover77]

You can use cardboard to mix your body filler and icing. It's the way I was taught from old timers and I've never had a problem.

[@rorybellamy2533]

[@kyrollos0208]

Some hardeners/activators may cause a flammable object such as cardboard to spontaneously catch fire if they are in prolonged contact with the object.

[@Taylor-uw4sm]

You should have dented in the rust so that you can sand without lowering the filler to much

[@brucegibbins3792]

Remember, guys that this tutorial is for a home repair not for professional body men. From this vid and others like it I have learned that what has been described here will be of great help to me and if I do the job right then I can expect the repair to last me about two years. I'm cool with that and it means that I can do the job myself other than pay a panel shop a ton of money that is difficult to justify to repair a twenty year old car that cost me a grand to buy.

Good information, very useful if you can't afford a professional fix

[@GeeenJ]

dodgy repair method this only way to repair rust is cut the effect area out and weld in new clean metal i've done repairs as they show here and with in 1 to 2 years the rust is back worse than ever its unsafe to repair any car this way

Rust bare metal exposed to water and oxygen, why would it grow if it's covered with filler and paint?

[@iamasmurf1122]

That’s not true if you apply rust killer leave rust killer for about 24 hours as you supposed to then filler with metal tech rust does not come back

[@deanparker8134]

Wow, Supercheap is right, this is not how to repair rust as it will very quickly come back if you do this, also doing this to flip off a sh#t car to a new unsuspecting owner is not cool as they will be paying what appears to be a straight car not a rusty dunger. Those defending this method obviously know nothing about cars or give a toss about their safety, whats behind the area and what is left behind does matter as if you leave rust behind it will come and bite you in the ass when you least expect it.

[@gailpengelly8581]

Dean Parker I'm afraid I agree with you, I did this two years ago and low and behold....it's back! Admittedly not as bad, but back all the same...AND it's eating away at our beloved camper van. We can't afford a professional so am attempting it again,I don't weld and im a girl!! So I am going to use an angle grinder this time to BLITZ the bastard rust out of her!! Fingers crossed.

[@fordnut4914]

Actually the rust converter will seal the rust the glass filler is water resistant and will keep water out you don't need to always cut the rust out this will last for along time.

[@Farmer2492]

Mine has lasted 7 years

[@splash5974]

Water resistant, but not waterproof. Temporary fixes like this could very well last years...but they can also come back in a month or two!

[@scabbycatcat4202]

I was happily watching this post and thinking what a good job it was going to be and then - like so many other posts they don'nt show you the finished job !! The only explanation must be that the finished job was CRAP !!!

[@bennedettocracolici5058]

Thank you for your awesome video. How long does it take for the rust converter to dry .

[@Farmer2492]

Hi i use a product called metal mend, it's very hard to sand but you can sand it, i have put that on rust repairs and it's been on there 7 years

[@Cyberpuppy63]

ok. So I've spent my $25 - $ 50 for this product / method. Suppose some laughing boy runs a shopping cart into my side panel? Will it hold or indent, like a chunk of crap? :) ( I was wondering if soldiering or spot welding a thin length of plate steel might be better? )

[@bennedettocracolici5058]

Go to home depot and buy a metal mash it is very thin and it bends and it shapes like a butter, once you got the shape attached with small metal screws, but use a small metal bit and then screw it, bonded with the things you need and senddd down. Then the paint.

[@Lambag-Daniel]

+chrisvidz89 he's right ya jackass anyone who'd dealt with rust before knows the right way is to cut it out

[@chrisvidz89]

DKNOTX Lol the only thing that needs cutting is your hair...cutting it out doesnt mean shit the smallest rust can be spread in all directions no matter where the original rust is. Grinding it back and treating it first with rust protection is another way and more efficient, then thats when you can weld or fill the spots with fibre metal bog or bondo.

[@chrisvidz89]

Derricks that sentence is just as dead as your profile pic

[@christianxzowner2958]

What about the inside the rust come back from there and end up piercing back an rust again

[@nkhjk3457]

That was my question too

[@sergiomartins98]

Super usefull, thank you very much!!

[@blackenigma1054]

is that daniel craig?😂

[@jimralph8066]

should have cut out rust completely, fix wire mesh then fibre glass and filler, otherwise it will blister out again after couple months.

[@dragan3290]

If your going to this please us fibreglass resin and hardener and fibreglass for surfboards! I used to use a welder, cardboard template, steel sheet according to the car. Cut it out , weld a sheet cut from template and grind. Then weld, deoxidine and filer no more than 1.5 mm. Textbook method is no more than 3mm. Sand . Undercoa and paint. Etc. I used to put tectyl rust prevention or rust converter in the sill and then rust prevention treatment .

[@brendanmatthys3788]

I had no idea that wet sanding filler causes rust. Thanks for the tip!

[@hjembrentkent6181]

Not good enough

[@RussellBooth1977]

I apply etch primer to underneath the body filler so that the rust won't creep through !

[@EpicAnimeFan]

To do a proper repair you have to completely remove all rust... And after you are done doing all the steps he just showed you you have to do the same steps on the other side of the panel. If you do not your molding will look very shitty and unprofessional. Car shows will often look in the wheel well for rusting and shitty fixes like this. If your going to repaint the body, please repaint inside AND out.
