Trying out that Latvian "Rust-Off" rust converter. Works well, but not as nice as the Flag Paints stuff as it has no black pigment. No black coverage, just conversion. At least it goes on pale green so you can see where you have applied it.

De-rusted the Crossgolf's massive steel under-engine shield, then applied converter and next is paint.

New shield is somewhere around €160-200, so worth restoring. Used ones are just as rusty.

Rusty under-engine shield from a VW Golf 5 Plus Cross. It's a thick steel piece with some black paint left on it, the rest is thick rust from use in a country with heavily salted roads. There's two elaborate air intake slots with triangular recesses. An old hammer is on top of it.
Same shield, although upside down (both sides were about the same level of rustyness). The rust is now hammered, chiseled, ground and brushed off and rust converter has been applied turning any remaining brown spots black. Where there was no rust, the rust converter remains transparent, showing darkened steel. The intake slots have been cleaned up as well as possible, but are a problem spot.
A test of the rust converter paint on an old steel chisel. The bottom half is rusty, the top half is black.

Even Republicans are falling out of love with Tesla

listings of used Teslas have risen by two-thirds since the start of the year, twice as much as for other EVs.

That hints at a deeper problem for Tesla: stiffening competition.

Are EV sales boosting Europe’s car market despite a global uncertainty?

EV sales jumped by almost one quarter, giving a boost to the entire European car market in the first quarter of 2025, as the European car industry continues to grapple with uncertainty due to global trade tensions.

Three of the four largest markets in the EU, including Germany, recorded robust double-digit growth in the EV sector.
