I've been doing bodywork on various types of vehicle for a year or two +35 so I know where to get wire wool and it wouldn't be the suppliers you recommend

TW wrote in response "in whose opinion" well we're talking about a small area of metal in a domestic area and the facts are out there
Apart from that TW the last ten years of my working life involved ordering metal in great quantities and although I don't have to justify my opinions I do have some knowledge. For a minor area of improvement in a van simple basic methods of repair are worth considering first. I haven't tried this myself but it seems less likely to worsen the situation. 
I'm always prepared to apologise when I'm wrong and I hope the OP isn't put off by differing opinions.

Brue, 'facts' are everywhere online and there isn't necessarily a right or a wrong answer to this and we all bring our life experiences to the table when trying to help others.
I'm glad you recognise the benefits of simple basic methods - exactly what I was advocating. 👍
