Melthir posted:I have a guy who just reported aboard with a 94 dodge diesel pickup. Structurally looks in great shape, almost no rust on the undercarriage but the paint is thrashed. The clear coat is bubbling up everywhere and the exposed paint is oxidized. Paint has flaked off in speckles to primer in some places and he has a couple of rock chips down to the metal. How would i go about removing the damaged clear coat without removing the good paint and start fixing the rest without breaking the bank. A new paint job up in Ketchikan AK is more than the truck is worth and he would like to keep the truck from rusting out in the land of liquid sunshine. This probably made the rounds here... Rustoleum and elbow grease. http://www.rickwrench.com/index79master.htm?http://www.rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html

amenenema posted:So was that a flood car? How else could it get like that? It has to be. Besides some places looking like dried puddles, a car that neglected would have wear and tear on things like the upholstery to go with it. It would have some spots where things were touched habitually in normal use, skin oil attracting more dirt there. Dirt rubbed off in other places. e. AND ANOTHER THING...Lets say a person could somehow let a car get that dirty. Is it possible that they keep the body that straight? Not a chance.

Had my WRX in for Oil etc, peeked out the window and saw a porter drying it off with a chamois that had some miles on it, good thing my car is silver... I don't go to that dealer anymore.

Random product recommendation. I can't speak to it's long term effectiveness but I just picked up some NAPA protectant. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/MCR4316 I find it has a similar finish to 303 marine protectant. Gloss but it soaks/rubs in and doesn't leave a wet finish. 303 can be hard to come by and Amazon wants 15 bucks for the 303... I don't know that the new plastics in cars need pricey protectants but I like the look from their use...
