I wet sanded some of the surface rust off the trunks paint, then buffed and waxed the entire car to keep the rust at bay. Unfortunately I have to wet sand a lot more to get rust off haha. I just wanted to see what was savable and see how it looks. And since I didn't tape anything off the...

Awesome! Thanks for all the good info! I appreciate it. After some of the other guys mentioned the harbor freight setup I was looking into it. Thanks for the insider tip on the compounds, Polish, pads, backing plate etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The cars: So I have never used a buffer. I'm new and not sure what compounds, polishes, waxes etc to use. I do the basics to keep the car clean: wash, clay bar and body shine, wax, Polish wheels. Any tips or advice is appreciated. The buffer I was given is a basic craftsman, but it's...

Thanks! Now I need to get a buffer

Yup. I live on Geary in SF

And thanks

Yeah I want to clean the rust as much as possible, and clean / polish the paint, then seal it as much as I can until I can afford a paint job someday

So picked up and e21 not too long ago. The paint looked pretty good for being original. It was all there and no fade or peeling. I brought it to San Francisco where its surrounded by the ocean, misty, rainy, and foggy. The car developed surface rust really quick. I was thinking of picking...
