Hi all,

Was detailing my car today - first time taking the rear license plate off so I can give the back a really good scrub. When I was taking the plastic screws off, I had more trouble on one side compared to the other - and found that one hole is fully painted and the other is not.

I already cleaned out the rust using rubbing alcohol, but am concerned about the exposed metal against a plastic/metal screw for winter time.

Q: Anyone has experience with this and how would you deal with it? Silicone spray the hole and not worry about it? or should i spray some clear coat into the hole to create a new coating?

I am also going to get some stainless steel screws as it was really hard to remove the screw.. if the head snaps it will cause much more trouble.

Just spray something oilbased inside the hole. wd40 or crc 556. The rust probably comes from the screw itself, and has nothing to do with the hole missing paint.

Personally, I would put some anti-seize on a stainless screw and call it good.
