In the middle of changing the trunk seal on my 300SD. I've wire brushed out most of the rust, but theres some in the seam where the 2 pieces of metal join together that I can't get to. Anyone have any advise on how to remove it? Or should I just smother it with POR15 and hope for the best?


Also, how the heck do I get this rubbery sealant off? Its so soft that wire brushing or sanding just melts it and moves it around, and mixes it into the paint. I tried rubbing it with my fingers, and it kind of works, but its going to take days and wear my fingers down to the bone!
