Hi Again, many of the cars I've seen have rust at the bottom of the doors. After its cut out and repaired by your favourite method - what stop it coming back and turning the $$$$ new paint job sour? - Other than never washing or getting caught in the rain.

Rusty doors is easy.
Beg Mr P to look at it.
He will prod with his rust attracting screw driver.
Threaten the door with a cutting wheel
Chant a mythological rust banishing spell (bstrd, ball cocks or something like that)
Squirt magical gunk
Wave his welder wand whilst wearing head dress passed from one rust doctor to the next
New metal will then appear and you collect the doors later
In answer to you question I’ve no idea but use good quality products.
I’m sure Mr P will be along soon to give you a proper answer with what he uses.

Two reasons. The door weather seals don't work and the drain holes along the underside of the door get blocked. Door retains water, door rots out.
As Snoopy eloquently described it, chopping off the bottom 3" of the door skin, repairing the bottom section and fitting a new skin section is the only proper way of dealing with it. Then, clear the drain holes and after the doors have been painted, shoot in lots and lots of cavity wax.
Chris.
