A while back I recommended the 3m Scotch-Brite Bristle Disc to remove heavy rust off of sheet metal. I still stand by that one.
Today I found a new product that works great for uneven and/or tight surfaces such as trunk channels and fender inner top (hood channel). After struggling during several sessions with a 4" wire wheel to remove the paint in my trunk channel, as I was about to give up and say "screw it, I'll just scuff whatever paint is remaining," I remembered that on a whim I picked up another product at Harbor Freight last week and decided to give it a shot.
And it works amazing. Totally blows through paint, primer, and rust with ease. It is called the 4" 80 Grit Nylon Abrasive Wheel. And at only $3.99, it's a bargain. I finished off the entire trunk channel and surrounding area in around an hour or so. I'm pretty darn happy because I didn't want to half-*** it before paint seeing as I've stripped everything else to bare metal.
In any event, here's some pics, and here's the link: 4 in. 80 Grit Nylon Abrasive Wheel with 1/4 in. Shank
