If there's nothing but surface rust, I reckon a wire wheel is the right idea. I was thinking more along the lines of whether or not it'd be worth applying some kind of rust converter/sealant just in case the Drip-Chek fails in future years.
wire brush, then some kill rust paint then the drip check
Hey UVB76
If the sealant has cracked then there could be a chance that moisture has got in and under it. If this is the case running more sealant over the top is
going to leave you with a big rust problem later on. Roof Racks are the worst for this. If you go down to your local Bunnings you can get abrasive scouring
disks similar looking to what you wash dishes with. There are different grades of course disks. Get the arbour that goes with them.
When you get home put the arbour in your drill and away you go, this will get out the hard cracked sealant, and keep an eye open for any rust.
