To anyone arriving at this channel for the first time, I highly recommend watching his vw build videos. It was a very interesting, educational, and entertaining journey.
Nice! (FWIW, Scotch-Brite does make a non-scratch pad. They're blue, not green. They may not work on your vehicle, but they won't scratch your glassware in the kitchen.)
Awesome video, but you may wanna hit up a local detail shop and grab some “iron remover”. It just melts away the rust buildup. Spray, wait, spray away and wash.
Hey man.. thanks for the content! Im about to use the oil on my 1973 beetle. About the polishing process, you had way to much compound. If you keep it to "wet" , the pad doesnt hit the surface propelly. Try to use Just some drops of it. Something arround 4 or 5. Keep doing it till the compound starts to dry. Dont let it dry completly, because it loses the cutting power. If you want to be more agressive, do slow passes and put Just a little down pressure on the machine. Work on small areas to avoid it to dry to fast. I hope it helps!
Kero is great for cleaning painted surfaces! give it a try. I like what you are doing not trying to make it look new. it is preserving the character of the vehicle. To hell with those idiots that say "polishing a turd" they just dont have a clue.
Hi, while I’m waiting to see how the rubbing compound turns out because I’m thinking about trying that, I thought I would mention that a Scotch-Brite pad and water actually works very well on oxidation and rust my truck is was about the same condition as yours and I cleaned it up very well without any chemicals whatsoever.
Not sure if you know of the hazardous nature of linseed oil but what ever you use to apply it is a possible fire hazard. The oil will spontaneously combust.
I have found hanging a crucifix from my rear vision mirror has stopped my car combusting since applying the Linseed oil but the rags themselves should be aloud to de gas before disposing of preferably hosed off prior to de gassing also.
Love your projects! I have a 67 f100 and I've painted it and wet sanded to give it a patina look. Do you know if this technique will affect the spray paint? Wrinkle it etc?? Thanks. Great video
