I'm cleaning up some rust around the trim clip holes on front fender of my 240D. One of them perforated and I had to weld the area closed. Naval jelly and POR-15 are my friends here. I'm doing what I can before the salt bath begins.

I really hate to even drive it this winter but I currently have no choice. The brine they are putting on the roads around here is terrible. I live right by Watkins Glen, NY, home to Cargill, makers of the brine, so they test formulas on local roads. I have noticed a serious uprise in the amount of rust on cars since they started with the stuff a few years ago. Newer cars, with cheap recycled parts are terrible to work on after just a couple of winters. The bodies don't rot so bad thanks to modern corrosion inhibitors but the fasteners are frozen to the point of breaking or stripping the heads.
