But, you can only get the rust off of the outer surfaces. This is fine for a
southern or western USA car, but up here in the Rust Belt, media blasting is
only half a solution. I did my Tiger with the Redi Strip process, and had no
regrets. !2 years later, not one speck of rust has show up anywhere on the
car.
