Re: Cleaning a Body
Dwight
Try high pressure waterblasting. Saw a few cars done that way and looked like brand new stamping. Hammer |

Re: Cleaning a Body
See if you can find a place that does SODA blasting/washing--Saw a old Corvette that a guy did did not hurt the weatherstripping or other soft parts-- Took it right down to raw fiberglass no pits or gouging like you get from sand blasting--Comp 387

Re: Cleaning a Body
I think that Mark Dickerson does the soda blasting. He is located in Maryland.

Re: Cleaning a Body
Be careful with chemically stripping doors, hoods, deck lids, or any parts thet are joined together. A friend of mine had his doors chemically stripped and once he got them home he rinsed them again with water. The acid neutralizing dip process (and neither did the water rinse) did not get into the seam between the door skin and the inner door very well. When the doors were painted they continued to leech the acid they used to strip the metal. The doors over time turned out to be a rusty mess because the leeching continued to strip his fresh paint down to the bare metal and rusted. I prefer the plasic bead process. The only drawback is the hood and deck lid will continue to shed trapped beads for a while but, at least they won't mess up your paint job.
