Antique Michelin Man Restoration - Detroit 1918
Very Cool Restoration of Mighty Michelin Man. Model Detroit 1918 Original Advertising statue from the vintage days. also known as the Marshmallow Man. This is a really cool cast iron statue.
Restoration Process
I started with a little squeeze of WD40 rust remover to loosen up the bolt but unfortunately I broke it when I was trying to unscrew it. I did use very long time in the sandblaster because it was rusty and the paint there was left on it was really harsh to sandblast.
I hand grinded a bit of the metal pitting’s away and decided to powder coat the Michelin Man to keep him strong in many years to come. I airbrushed the Michelin logo with bright yellow and painted the tire black with regular matt spray paint. I changed the screws and bolt to new stainless ones to keep my new friend secure in the future.
It was a very nice restoration video to do and my first video in my new awesome playground.

That was awesome to watch… I just retired from Michelin back in December after almost 41 years of employment so this was quite interesting to me. The Michelin Man’s name is actually “Bibendum”, commonly referred to as Mr. Bib across the company.

hm? yes logo over
Absolutely loved the video! The Michelin man is 120 years old and his real name is Bibendum, and used to be a bit creepy looking. Many of the posters from the early 20th-century depict him as a somewhat sinister figure, large and bespectacled, drinking champagne, and chomping permanently on a cigar. This led to the character being known for a while as a “road drunkard”, an image that would be disgusting to any car related company today. In the Italian market he was depicted as a pleasure seeking ladies’ man - An attempt to appeal to the wealthy upper - class folks who had the monetary funds to purchase a car. But in the 1920’s he toned down and took on a more refined family friendly image. He quit alcohol, stopped smoking, shed plenty of weight and is even a touch macho looking. Lol. There’s a restaurant in London that pays tribute to him. Last but not least, the Michelin Man in 2018 was awarded Icon of the Millennium.

Any way im fully happy now Even my aches & sniffles are gone Thank you, and Mr Michelin Man With his happy bright eyes He made me smile I know things are sentient objects but i think, in my opinion They know when they are being restored & care taken over them Then at the end when youve done A good job & admire your handiwork... well theres a little something apparent in those restored items Its what loving restoration does to a once loved then neglected object that shines through I often thought this after id finished an especially tough project & felt a ...

WD40 stands for Water Displacement # 40, it was designed to move water around. For stuck bolts or nuts you need to use some sort of penetrating chemical or oil. It might not made a difference in this application but penetration oil might have made a difference on the other end of the bolt.
