deaddds Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I have a 1919 Olds that I want to preserve what's left of its finish. Clay bar is out as I don't want to grab the peeling paint edges any more than necessary. Isn't there an oil based cleaner restorers use to leave the patina? I would peg the finish as similar to the one on the 23 Stutz Bearcat that was on chasing classic cars a couple weeks ago. They left that car original and it certainly cleaned up well. Any ideas? Thanks Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaddds Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 I re watched the episode and its a 21 Stutz. The fellow said in general he used a metal protectant to preserve the bare spots and joked guys are paying big money to get the same look on new cars. Does this trip any triggers? Can't say I've heard of metal protectant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

61polara Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Try a cup of kerosene in a bucket of water. Wash it down with this and let it dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Rub on a very thin coat of linseed oil and let dry. Be care with the leftover rags because they can spontaneously combust if wadded up and left out in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
