(Preview)
Im getting little bubbles, about the size of a 10 cent piece, under the paint on the side of my aluminium van. Looks like wates is getting under the paint and causing corrosion.
Does anyone have any ideas what's causing this and what to do with the corrosion. Does rust converter work on aluminium?
