Best way to get rid of paint / moss from body panels?
Hi Guys,

I know many vw fans have there panels dipped in something which removes all paint / filler etc from the panels. Can ayone tell me the best way to achieve this with defender body panels?

Thanks

Steve

i watched on wheeler dealers that they dipped them in acid Shocked , just get a decent car sander and the correct grit paper and rub it down to bare metal, or try giving it a good tcut to get rid of all the moss, or use a compound Thumbs Up CSK Automotive

I saw the ice blasting in one of the mags recently but seemed expensive
