Amphi rust prevention


I am sorry to have been inactive for so long and have missed seeing
the members I have met. The great ideas shared on this group are very
valuable to me and I would like to share one as well.

After days of swimming, and Amphi to be sitting, I wash and then dry
the exterior and then take a compressed air hose and work the
mouldings, emblems, mirrors, hood light base, and all seals including
doors & hood. Then Amphi sits in the sun for a few hours with doors &
lids open.

After doing this a few times, you will learn the places water stays
and you will be Amazed the amount of water that comes out. This only
takes a few minutes and I am convinced it to be one of the best
maintainance things to do on a water car built from steel!
