Just spray on and wipe off?

Hmm... my '72 is the same color as yours. Not as rusty... but does have some surface rust in spots.

That's like night and day difference, good job looks great as always.

ARC190 · 03-30-2013, 03:01 PM

Looks great! I've been wondering what to do with some surface rust inside my driver door. I guess this answers that question!

Dano69c10 · 03-30-2013, 03:16 PM

...not to hijack, but what are those hubcaps off of? Do they need clips?

Thanx

Looks awesome!!

Daaaanz67 · 03-30-2013, 03:35 PM

Looks nice, I heard if you apply wax it should prolong the rust from coming back not sure though maybe someone else can help on that subject

That's a very cool truck! Do you have the front chrome? I would put a quick clear coat on that sucker and be done!

OMG you just washed away all of the value of that antique truck you Patina Killer! LOL. I like the fact that it shines after a bit of elbow grease. That's some pretty cool results.

**jocko** · 03-30-2013, 04:42 PM

clr is great. have seen several old cars use it and it really makes a difference. can easily persuade someone from a full-on repaint if they are already on the fence. your truck was the perfect candidate, probably the best night and day shots i've ever seen of clr use.

Thanks! The shine is mostly the truck being wet. My two front fenders still have a lot of shine!
