Re: Project Patina Azul

Last week we had a big storm roll thru and it soaked and softened some of the road gunk on engine crossmember.I pulled the front clip last weekend and done some other small stuff.So I got out the pressure washer and went to town on the frame rails and cross member.After that I was already soaking wet and filthy so I said"WTH" next thing i knew I was on my back under the Burb in the mud pressure washing the entire under carriage and frame!!!.I crawled on my belly like a snake and on my back like an otter washing from all angles and doing a good job as I sure didn't want to do it again.My efforts were rewarded with a nice clean under carriage and frame that are now miles ahead on paint prep.I'll try to get some pics after work.Shoulda taken some before pics too.Ah hindsight.....Yall be good

I did the same pressure washing maneuver a couple of weekends ago. What a difference!
