How to correctly wash a barn find?

This is a fucking retarded ass thread!!! Wash the car and bury this thread!!!!

 

Don't listen to these idiots with their fru-fru notions. The idea is to really get it clean. So, get yourself a can of Comet and a couple of green 3M pads and a bucket of water and go at it. Talk about patina on a barn find, it's the full tit treatment, no pun intended.

 

If its a four door,leave it in the barn.lol

 

How do I correctly place a pancake on a bunny's head?

 

it is a 4 door, pics are in album in his profile

 

Looked at the pics in your profile - that is a pretty damn nice-looking Buick! Screw the four-door haters, it's nice. Wash it and enjoy it.

Okay it's out of the barn and you figured out how to use a hose, good for you.

 

that looks like a nice solid original car. i am glad to see it is going to be back on the road. don't over think it! just wash it and enjoy it!

 

Why does that girl have a hand growing out of her hip?

 

I would clean it real good with sand paper then preserve the resulting patina with primer and paint.

 

...and it only took seven pages to get there.

 

Next up:

Wiping, back to front, or front to back?

 

Bunch of bored Muda F*%^*rs on here this weekend, yours truly included. I keep coming back here myself. Maybe this post will help bring closure.

 

SUBSCRIBED. !!

this is the most useful thread to come across in years, I am glad it all turned out

lessons learned

 

A girlfriend told me she could make me eat shit once, I said I doubt it, she said she wiped forward.

 

I know of an old plymouth they used this method on, but left it submerged too long.....

Anybody here remember the story of the black lady cleaning out her elderly mom's attic and finds a dirty, dusty old lamp and decided to "clean it up" the day before she takes it to The Antiques Roadshow ?

 

I heard "museum like",,, I guess some museums arent as particular as others.

 

The GOOD news: It's worth $80,000 (black woman goes crazy in that dramatic black woman kinda way...that I LOVE to watch...lol)

The BAD news: It would have been worth over $200,000 had you not cleaned all the patina off of it yesterday (black woman goes crazy in that dramatic black woman kinda way...that I LOVE to watch...lol)

 

I wish I had a dime for every antique gun I've seen that was 'restored' with steel wool....

 

Hook up a couple lawn sprinklers and let water soak the crap out of it an rinse the heavy stuff away.

 

This may be the best thread ever!!! Him not saying any thing to all the comments is priceless. Well played sir, well played indeed.

 

He's been too busy cleaning it up to read this thread.

 

Finding a museum quality barn find: Awesome!

Watching 30 car guys argue over how you how you should wash it: Priceless.

 

Pretty much sorta the same thing...lol

Myself, just reason to post dumb pictures...so |

You put one on Hippy Breeder's head and the bunny will sneak under it.

 

Go back to the barn. Out behind will be a vintage barrel with the correct era water. Only then will the dirt be cleaned off correctly.

 

Dont wash it, just hit it with a buffer when u get it home, dust and all...Use a quality horrible freight buffer or a grinder with buffer end.. Use the edges and full throttle as much as possible as laying the pad flat and going slow does nothig..Good luck.
