Default Must sort the rust out this year!

My Saph is starting to look a little shabby. After a couple of trackdays amd being used to commute to work everyday it taking its toll.

The rear arches definatly require attention as the bubble patches covering the rust have now come away to reveal horrible the rust patchs.

And the paintwork, although having a respray a couple of years ago needs a good going at too.

What are people's thoughts on the best way to address the rear archs?

And is there a product I can buy to restore the pain work? It's white and has various swirls and light scratches.

I had the rear arches done on this car around 7 years ago. the car did not have a full respray just the rear quarters . I was the 3rd owner , the one before me shared it with his son but was 67 and he couldn't get in and out of it hence selling it to me
