How to correctly wash a barn find?

sorry dude...the OP is all out...

 

Use some of that dihydrogen monoxide they sell, but be careful I've heard its dangerous and can kill if used in large quantities.

I want to start a thread on how to achieve wonderful silk like paint.
This thread is too dumb to even report.

 

That's what I'm sayin....

 

we all here have been quite patent with this no pics.
post em or run

 

I vote for this way!

Pee on it to cut some of the initial dust, it'll take awhile. Perhaps invite some friends over for beverages. The above clip of Susan George is mesmerizing.

 

And a 5 star rating? HRP

 

It breaks my heart to see this frivolous talk of the wanton destruction of our pristine patina. Do I have to remind EVERYONE what an ecological disaster it is to wash this priceless treasure into the storm drains of our oceans and waterways. People, let's remember the gay baby whales out there.


Please remember to gather up that patina in a biodegradable container and take it to the nearest recycling center where it can be re-purposed or sent to one of the many patina deprived regions of the world.

 

For a thread that everyone says sucks, its getting bigger and bigger...

 

Threads like this are like a train wreck,,you don't want to look but you just have too,,,it's just to idiotic to ignore! HRP

 

I had to look to. But all said in done, i'd farm it out

 

I'd definitely use a chamois with genuine Saskatchewan sealskin bindings.

 

I hope that's safety glass!

 

Well.. I dont know about you guys but i wanna see this Buick.

 

I just stared at that for way too long.........

 

And all Cool Hand Luke could do was eat 50 eggs,,, HRP

Good read. I stumbled on this thread while googling how to correctly air up the tires on a barn find.

 

Realy! what has the HAMB came too.

 

Contaminated the ground water, and made people sick.

 

I'm sure all these great replies are really going to encourage him to come and share his car

 

I just keep reviewing the thread...in hopes that this car doesn't come clean...

 

The main thing is to soak it good so the dirt softens up and dissolves as much as possible. Then hose it off. Then wash the regular way being careful not to grind the dirt into the paint, in other words go easy. If a gob of dirt or bird shit won't come off let it soak a while longer.

I use a big spray bottle from the hardware store with warm water and a shot of car wash soap. Keep the finish wet for a couple of hours then wash it off. Working inside a garage I use a 5 gallon pail of warm water and an old towel to wash off the dirt. Keep rinsing the towel and turn to a fresh spot as it gets dirty. A car the size of the Buick may take 2 or 3 towels and 2 or 3 pails of water.

O ya if you have an air hose blow off loose dirt first.

 

Anybody that responds to this thread needs to post a video like this

 

I usually just whip out my hose and spray it down, then I just lightly rub it till its clean.

 

How's this?
