My first ever attempt at a light restoration

I can't really say on the electrox as I haven't used it before, I've heard good reviews and was under the impression it'd go over hydrate 80 or any other clean and prepped surface.

Just checked bilt hambers site and nothing saying it has to be bare metal I.e no hydrate. Looking at the usage guide I'd use electrox on anything that's been bare metal then use normal grey primer over the top.

Best thing I found for prepping the remaining paint in the bay is scotch bright pads works a treat and relatively cheap and most motor factors stock it.
