Quick chemistry lesson. Ph is the measure of acidity on a 0-14 scale. Lower is more acidic. Iron oxide (rust) is on the higher end and if you put an acid on it (like vinegar) it brings it closer to 7 on the scale which is a “neutral” ph. Hence, we are “neutralizing” the rust and inactivating it. Thanks Pete for all your help over the years. I really appreciate you!
Thanks so much Pete, enjoy your videos very much and learning heaps, you're an absolute legend.I have a 1973 Impala coupe that had all rust removed before the Earthquakes down here in Christchurch, New Zealand. Has sat and now has surface rust.....can't wait to get into it and do it Pete way, Awesome bro, and thanks
You need to use a red scotch brite pad or steel wool when rinsing it off with water vigoursly rubbing as you rinse.. When your done you should wipe it off with an old towel or paper towels. Then once it drys you can d/a sand it with 80 grit sand paper and it should be clean as a whisle.. Take it easy Pete
hey im getting ready to start my 72 camaro. what i thought from the research i did. for me the best product was VHT rust converter. places that sell their paint dont sell this stuff and i called VHT myseld to get the product number and stuff. it supposedly converts the rust into a metal surface you can paint and work. it supposedly one for the few converters thats also a rust prime so after it dry it the turns into a primer you can paint over and the sprayed rusted areas are not rust anymore. you ever use this product or know of something similar? Thanks nice job
Pete you are my savior, I love your videos, im learning a ton of very helpful tips, I just recently bought a 73 nova that really needs attention and with your videos I think I can do it, thank you
Pete! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I am at this precise spot with my '72 K10 Chevy. I've read up and listened to people, but, now I know how to do this, from watching you! By the way, I answered "yes" and "no" when you asked questions, but I don't think you heard. Just didn't want you to think wasn't paying attention.
You are seriously the coolest guy ever, hands down, I enjoy the way you live life. Thanks for your help as I am restoring a 67 mustang and have found your videos very informative and funny!

Hi Pete ..Joe from Canada.. After being out of the auto body trade for some 10 year's, I just got back into it again..I needed a refresher course and your the man . I watch all your vids and I must say; Thank youuuuuu Sir...
Wow man i every dam question about treating the. Body after its been sanded just got alot clearer.. I started a project and i know nothing about primer or treating rust on the car n i been searching but this video. Dam i dont think it gets any clearer than this. Awesome. P.s. i dont normaly leave comments.
Great video Pete,thanks for showing us things we can use without spending a lot of cash.Got two vehicles I'll be stripping at some point and this will really help!
hi, first of all I give you a big thanks for all your kind and smart effort to convey how to prepare the metal of the car for painting. In my case, I have a Chevette 1989. It has gone some years without metal and paint maintenance. The last time something was done to it, the technician told me that I sell the car as soon as possible since the metal was degrading fast and non-reversibly. In my heart, I feel that he is trying to avoid me a problem.
hello i am restoring a 1966 4door dodge dart and your videos are the most exiteing videos to see i have learning alots of tips and trix greetings from sweden
Pete Thank you again for teaching everyone this way to handle body prep. I for one have learned a lot from you and can't thank you enough for your generosity. Steve
Thanks for making these videos, Pete. I am hoping to buy an old muscle car soon and I can count on one hand the things I know about automotive repair and body work. However, I am determined to do as much of the job myself so that when I am done I can say "I did this!" So thanks again!
Pete, Just wanted to thank you for the video!! Great info!!! I'm restoring my F-250 and this works great and as I have been rebuilding my rockers,cab corners and everything else. I have been using the vinegar and water and the metal looks perfect when it's done and I have piece of mind that it will last and it's done right, thanks again!!!
I will try the water vinegar mix; I used vinegar & salt to soak rusted pieces & then wash them with a water & baking soda solution; you sure teaching me a lot. Thank you.
Thanks so much Pete, I just did this on my 69 charger, little surface rust, so much better them dragging out a sandblaster which I did the car with originally. I'll let it dry over night and primer in the morning! thanks again.-Jim
I used POR15 on the frame of my YJ a year ago. the frame has been sitting outside for 8 months and all through Winter. No rust has come back! Great stuff but expensive. Like the vids Brother. Keep it up.
Very good information on treating the rust at always forms in channels where weather strip hold moisture. Thanks again Pete for the tips, product and information. DK, Omaha.
Pete your amazing, i found out not long ago that you can use mollasses in water to get rid of rust but this vinegar way is much faster. Thanks for all your videos keep them coming.
Have just found your channel,and have subscribed.Fantastic videos,thanks for taking the time to share your knowhow,I've learnt so much in just the 1/2 dozen videos of yours I've watched so far.
Hi Pete. Thanks for explaining the rust conversion process using vinegar to the point no sales garble. I have a 1971 ford LTD working under the car and has some surface rust. I'll give an update when I finish.
Thank you Pete, I got some rust under the paint on my car and I want to fix it because its an eye sore and is annoying. This video actually gave me some great tips. Rust-Kon and Vinegar ---- who knew.
