I think mine was definitely from dirt build up from behind, not a pretty sight now I've mostly cleaned it up!
Not sure what to do about the hole, get a patch welded in or a layer of filler
Finally started the horrible task of removing the rust behind my fuel cap but I've found it tracks back under the underseal towards the rear light assembly.
I've armed myself with BH deox gel, electrox and dynax ub by my question is after deoxing would I be best to electrox then dynax for just...
Stripped the fuel cap down to begin treating the rust, wasnt as bad as I'd thought but still not great (photos needed) but the worst bit is the rust that's got under the underseal near the rear light. Not looking forward to getting access to it
Just thought I'd update this for anyone else thinking of getting a DA. I ended up getting a DAS 6 pro with chemical guys orange and white hexlogics and 3" blue and orange scholl pads.
I used it for the first time this weekend with megs 105 and 205, what a transformation! The colour of my flame...
Mine has done this a few times after damp weather, from what I've read on here it's more likely a connection or wiring issue rather than a component.
For the last 3 weeks it's been fine
More paint correction and polishing, DAS 6 pros are great cant believe it's taken me all these years to invest in one.
I'd always thought I got a good finish by hand but a DA gets a such a good finish even on my 17 year old paint
So just to confirm as I'm going to have a go at behind the fuel flap too -
deox gel, electrox then my choice of top coat/underseal is the way to go or is there a need for hydrate 80 or use that rather than deox?
Replaced the drivers side engine mount, gearbox selector bush (what a bas#@rd to get out) and return spring.
Also fitted a Richbrook gear knob to replace my melting sticky original.
