This thread seems to have the most discussion about rust. So let me just say,
I want one of these!

I am currently trying to come up with a way of removing rust from the bottom of a Porsche 914.

Think how great this would be to remove the rust from the underside of a car where there are many hard to reach places.

This is great (and probably expensive).

Edit: WOW! I just saw the price. I will stick with navel jelly.

Around here, well more like Tucson, there are such things as run-off streets or flood streets(much less of those now), these were actually built to channel water rather than dump it. And this would be combined and dump into 'washes' most often. Like all river systems, the washes tend to combine too. Anything solid could push up against a large bush or rock and get buried under a type of sticky (yet slick) red mud we have.
An uncertain number of people died back in the day, thinking their floating VW was safe to cross 4in of fast moving 'red' water. (read that as slick) If 'this one' crossing didn't work out, it would just float yes? Trouble is, 4in was enough to drag it into deeper faster moving water, and of course you didn't stay upright in it.

The process: roll many times, mash windows, fill up with water, get trapped by bush or rock, sink, 'turbolate' into muck, disappear for a week or more with-out a trace.

I didn't know you were in Tucson too! We need to find all the Tucson guys and enjoy some java or tea on a Sunday morning.

Classic.

Have you ever polished and buffed aluminum to a mirror finish?
Now THAT would be even better than a "chrome" wrap.

I admit that it would be hard to seal it from never oxidizing...
And you'd probably cause a lot of accidents on bright sunny days. :cool:

If they offered a factory chrome or stainless wrap, those are ones I might actually go for! Right now I am torn between red and blue, but that could change with the right wrap.

I'm increasingly liking two of Silas's designs, posted above -- the black with grey panels and orange pinstripes, or the white one with just the stripe at the window line. That last one could be done for maybe a couple of hundred ... maybe.
