Background to why I just don't take it back to the shop for them to make it right (feel free to skip): My car was hit a little over a year ago, and due to wait periods for most shops in town- I opted for to go for one of the at-fault party's recommended shops that could take me in immediately (big mistake). The car was with them for about 6 months and since I've gotten it back, its been issue after issue (busted control arm wasn't replaced, missing trim and fasteners, loose side mirror, trim put back together with double-sided tape, hood misaligned and mechanism would bind, broken windshield washer pump glued back together [yes, that's right], etc.) I gave the shop an opportunity to make good on all of this last year while I was on a 3 week trip and when I returned, it turned out they hadn't touched the car and I had to bring it back- at which point they only rectified the control arm situation and didn't fix anything else and have since been dragging their feet at fixing the rest. I'm done- I don't trust this quality of workmanship or customer service to fix this and have since just been addressing these issues myself, which brings us here.
It looks like they did an equally piss poor job on sealing the seam between the replacement panel (4 or 5 here) and the greater wheel housing panel. What approach and products should I use here? Wire brush off the rust and then seam sealer (and which one)?
