Re: Beat way to preserve old "Patina"
look for anything on web forums by a guy named "skim". he has an impala that has beautiful patina, he cleaned it with CLR and cleared.
Here you go, found it: http://lowbus.com/BB/index.php?topic=335.90

Re: Beat way to preserve old "Patina"
WOW the results of the CLR just blow me away.
I'll look a car a bit differently now with surface rust on it.

Re: Beat way to preserve old "Patina"
I'm doing this right now with the CLR to my truck and when I finish the process I will wet sand and clear the truck...I will tell you it is a slow process...If you look at my farm truck build in my signature you can see what I've done so far to my hood...that's after about 3 hours total on two different days washing the hood with CLR...
