My 2008 is inspected n repainted: two glassed holes in right rear quarter panels at the fender well. Vandalism in Cleveland.
After inspecting the roof stop light, the rain gutter was flooded with whit e Rusto. Rear and side sills repainted with Rusto. A commercial green scrub pad from Home Depot works with Megware's wash soap for grease and oxidatio n removal. Use a separate clean pad to finish.
I moved to the front end, removing grille. Press down on the bottom clips w ith a screwdriver. Buy a 5/16th's flat combo ratchette from NAPA.
paint upfront is getting blasted away. Grey primer is vaguely visible under the white topcoat. Wash and repaint with red then white primer followed wi th gloss white Rusto.
There is a problem. The mid level cross member front of the rad is a box be am filled with greasy crud. I can only guess where that came from. There ar e two small sealed boxes at top right and left.
Plan is Simple Green/hot water/soak rinse and repeat then blas Re[lace t with a pressure washer. Blow dry with a yellow bird hair dryer. Repaint s ealing all holes then draining.
The pressure washer get a shot at the two box sections at front frame . Hav e you looked ? That area was painted when new.
Happy Motoring.
