Chalky door panels
Is there anyway to clean and coat door panels that have started to get those chalky spots?

Re: Chalky door panels
Some will come out by bead blasting. Nothing really lost by trying. Then vinyl dye after. I just got done with a set that were pretty chalky that turned out great.

Re: Chalky door panels
Excellent job! That's just the ticket I needed to redo my Firebird panels.

Re: Chalky door panels
After cleaning...Try a liberal soaking with Armor All and let them/it soak overnight...I stood my faded black panels in a tub and let em have it...Next morning they were like new! EZPZ...

Re: Chalky door panels
First of all, "Howdy, 72highlander/Frank!"
I sold a set of parchment panels to a guy who does top notch restorations. He uses recycled glass bead. I mentioned walnut shells because I heard that was a way to go. He said the shells leave an oily residue

Re: Chalky door panels
Hey brother Tim!! Scary hitting them with glass beads first time, you’d think it’d blast right through but it just knocks chalk off and leaves grain. Some are beyond blasting but they aren’t good anyway so no loss.
