new to forum

hi guys I am new to this forum thing but I think I could really use your help. I am starting to gut out the whole cab and start to restore everything inside. there is a lot of old dirt, grease etc. inside has anyone found a great way to clean it all out. I don't have the money to have it sand blasted. I was just going to go through and clean everything by hand and sand anything I need to. I think this is how I can show pictures of it.

thanks appreciate the insight.

johnny

Welcome to you from eastern parts of Arkansas. It looks to me you got a better start than some elbow grease and soap and water will go a long way there. Jim

Stuff like Simple Green, a whole bunch of rags, scrub brush, and elbow grease.

Re: new to forum

Welcome. Looks like you have a good start. Scotch brite pads work well for cleaning and scuffing prior to painting parts.

Thats good for removing surface rust from small parts, but for large areas it takes forever and makes a mess. Plus you need to use a respirator.

Re: new to forum

soap and water baby! haha I am in a similar situation right now and I am going to douse things with some simple green and hose her out!

Also good old SOS pads may take some time but they work wonders. I just got done doing my whole entire ceiling inside my cab that had some surface speckling looks way better now.
