Cleaning a Body

[njk53]

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.
