Twisted knot wire wheel ftw

Etch prime then U-pol Gravitex then paint it is long lasting and the best method IMO

Use a proper etch, not a rattle can etch because the rattle can etch primers are crap for large bare metal areas.

traffic film remover/tar and glue remover.

I got industrial stuff from a valeter mate, supposed to dilute it.
