Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

What's the best way to clean a patina truck? Will a quick detailer hurt the paint since it has no clear coat on it?

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

CLR will take alof of thick rust off, and leave the 'patina' but not rusted out look

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

I used 1 part CLR to 4 parts warm water and a scotch brite pad to get the worst rust under control. Here is a before:



...and here is after:



I then *lightly* buffed the paint with a dual action buffer and polish to get some shine back in to it and clean stains. Now, I just keep a coat of good wax on the truck and try to keep it out of the sun/weather. This is what mine looks like now:



That picture makes the paint look better than it is...it still has it's share of stains, rust, scratches, etc... on it.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

Mine doesn't really have any surface rust, it's mainly just faded paint with primer showing. I was asking because my paint usually has a white powdery film on it.

And that's what makes it so cool! Hope you can make it up to VA for a show this year or I can get down there to see it since you've improved it so much.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

Here is my 1970 GMC C2500. I am not sure if I am going to paint it or leave it original. I was thinking that Mickey Mouse flipping the bird would make an interesting logo if anyone remembers those t-shirts from the 70's flipping off the Ayatollah.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

Here is my 55 1st series. I plan to swap it onto an 85 S10 LWB chassis (see cab lifter in background). This photo was taken Monday Jan 14th 2011, with temperatures in the mid 70's.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

Do firetrucks count as "logo" trucks? It has patina, too, just didn't have a good photo.
