I like the composition on both these shots. Can’t help on your question though, I just drive to the car wash and I don’t think you’ll be doing that!

Check out "Griot's Garage", they have everything you might need to fix that diamond-in-the-rough except time. chase
P.S. Nice photos

It's called OSHO. It is a chemical you buy at your local parts place.What is does is neutralize the rust and prevents further rusting.

Thanks everyone, for your kind advice. I kind of like the "patina" as is.

Normally after a thorough wash and dry, I start with a clay bar, but for you... maybe a hedge trimmer.
