Just because you don't understand how or why it worked, doesn't mean it didn't. Rust bleeds through small holes in the coating and spreads. Rust does the same on chrome yet chrome polish removes huge patches of rust to reveal the chrome coating beneath.

Paul G , it's not the original luster. He polished it with rubbing compound and then waxed it. If you put several coats of wax on something it it going to have a shine to it.

That's the advantage of an old lacquer paint job from the factory...polishes up great! You would never do that on a modern base coat/ clear finish though.

Wow that’s a huge difference and it looks absolutely beautiful now. The olds is in amazing shape for being so old and still driven. Ya should make another startfest. Love those vids

Man, what a difference! That thing is still in really nice shape! Looks Great!!!

Looks Great!!, love those 1963 Olds 98 cars

What a transformation, awesome job!... Detailing is one of those things that gives you instant gratification.

I once bought a 68 cougar xr7 black/white top in Arizona. The paint was dull and looked gray in color and the top was sort of a tan color from years in the sun. I went over the paint with rubbing compound and then put two coats of Duraglow polyurethane sealer (from J C Whitney) on it and then several coats of wax. I used vinyl top restore on the top and when I got done, it looked like I had just restored the whole car with new paint and a new top. A lot of love went into that car and it was worth it...

Bro that's a mean looking machine & u did a great job, it cleaned up real nice... 100 times better... wow

I never understood what people see in "Patina" on an old car. What they see as patina I see as a sure sign of neglect. I'd much rather have a good, clean, shiny car than one that's been neglected. If it's old and in good running condition, clean it up but don't restore it - it's only original once. The difference in appearance between before and after on this old Oldsmobile just goes to show what can be done with a little sweat equity. The car is still original, but it's now very presentable. Nice job!

I mean the remaining imperfections in the paint can still be called patina as it's still far from concourse condition and shows the wear and tear of 50 years. But you're right as that the before condition was neglect and it's only original once, after a repaint it'll never be original again. A car that shows its age while still looking cared for is what we should be striving for, a repaint, especially a cheap half-assed one, would kinda ruin it. Good paint jobs as in remove every single piece of trim, the windows, doors etc costs a lot of money so you sadly see a lot of otherwise nice cars with shitty paint jobs when the original paint could have been restored just fine.

A true classic, from when cars were cars. Vinyl bench seats, AM radio, 3-speed automatic on the column, and a big V-8 (I'm guessing maybe a 371, or a 394) with a 4-barrel carb, power brakes that would throw you through the windshield, with power steering that you could turn with one finger. I miss these old tanks. I've driven many of them, but I've never owned one. And you did a great job with this one. Keep up the good work!

Man that made a huge difference!!!! Lovely Olds BTW, amazing how straight and rust free that body is, and that interior looks nice as well from what I could see. She's begging for a repaint though, let her sparkle in her former glory.

My Dad had one of those Oldsmobiles the same color. I think it was his favorite car. I was maybe 6 or 7 could have been younger. I somehow got it into reverse and the car backed into a ditch and my Dad had to get a tow truck. Boy was he mad! You did real good to made her look good!

Back in the late 70's I had a blue 98 convertible it was a blast to drive down the road! I really liked the old Oldsmobiles. Nice job on cleaning her up!

That car came back to life. What a beauty...

You're inspiring me to polish up my old car. It's much smaller than the Oldsmobile so I have no excuse :)

There's something great about old American cars painted in light turquoise colors thats just looks right. I had a '65 Mustang painted Dynasty Green with white/turquoise interior that looked awesome. Those turquoise colors make any old car look great.

So often, cars can be cleaned and detailed and look great.....but because people don't take the time to do it, they turn into parts cars.

I wanna go back in time so bad, cars back then were so cool! Hell everything back then was cool! Cars, music, architecture, decor, neon signage, etc.

My dad had the same exact color 63 Ninety Eight, loved that car... always told him that I loved the tailights. I'm 56 now & I still remember telling him... I've owned that car from 63 to 68

Nice job cleaning that Olds up compared to what you started with. Dad had a 1950 Olds first car I worked on with him after 120,000 miles he decided to do the top end on it I was 8 yrs old I am 67 now. Also took my first drivers test in my Moms 1965 Olds Jetstar 88. I bought about the same year olds 98 you have for a car for my wife to drive always started. Thanks for the memories and thanks for sharing. Never thought of using CLR on a car for rust works good.

Looks great. Also, the best taillights ever.

I like that a lot and really worked well. The Olds is sweet.

I was exhausted as soon as you said, all in a days work... glad you took it day by day... you got a good workout, and something to show for it.

Night and day difference, great work on keeping that old beauty up.

Amazing how much better paint jobs were back in the day

Good video. Doing this process made a big difference. The best part about your effort is that you protected the body from getting worse. My experience with wax that doesn't leave white behind is that it doesn't last as long as regular wax. I see almost a few years have passed since you did this and I'm thinking you should check it to see if there's any wax remaining on it. It may be ready for another waxing by now.

Thank you so much, I've got a 65 Chevy truck I'm getting ready to start polishing on.... Great info, I am an Olds fan, cool car!

Had a 95 mitsubishi that was so faded it looked pink. 3 hours with rubbing compound and turtle wax it looked great. Revived the faded gray plastic inside by slathering wirh armor all. Best $800 car ever

Looks amazing! I'm glad you posted this cause I have been considering doing the same to my old F250 but never knew the best method. I'll be duplicating the same you did.

Enjoyed it, I used to ride in one of these, it was A 63 Olds 98, a white one same body style, from a private school we went to at the time, a neighbor around the corner had it. Actually I liked their light green 62 Olds 98 best. A friend of theirs turned this 63 in on a new 64 Lincoln and my friends Dad bought it. At the time I didn't realize this was almost a Cadillac

Amazing what a little elbow grease and determination can do. Transformed it! Very inspirational!!!

love your videos man, very informative and entertaining aswell. keep it up!

I had a silver car that was faded bad and did rubbing compound and many coats of wax. No buffer just hand waxing. I'd add wax to a small section every night after dinner. I don't know how many coats but it shined real nice after a while. I even added lemon Pledge a couple of times :) Thanks for the video.

Damn nice lookin Ninety Eight there. It cleaned up really nice considering the rust that was on it!

This is the beauty of single stage paint! If this was a base coat clear coat you would of never been able to Bing it back to extent you did!!...you did an amazing job!...it looks awesome,i wouldn't paint it as the patina looks great!!

Great Work difference is night and day so scotch brite and clr then compound then wax in that order and this was all hand done no buffer wow im impressed and motivated

So finally, I also added classic six carbs a better cam and Jardines long tube headsets tuned for broad torque. I put on Holly economizers for the two center carbs so it now got 12 to 15 mpg! Amazing! As long as you did not crack the end carbs. But when you did this 4200 lbs vehicle would take off like well, like a rocket Oldsmobile if you held the trans in 2 and then in 3 speed. Finally sold car to my cousin who still has it. Wonderful memories.....

@rustyjeep2469

3 жыл бұрын

@@thinkjon Most auto makers went to base-clear paint sometime between the late 80s and early 90s. it depends on the brand. A 1994 truck is most likely two stage paint (base and clear), although it could be single stage paint (no clear), I had a 1992 S-10 Blazer that had single stage dark green paint, but my 1991 Jeep Cherokee has a clearcoat from the factory. Those early clear coats often failed from UV exposure, for example it's extremely common to see GM trucks from that era with surface rust on the roof, hood, and top of bedsides. Once the clear fails and flakes off the UV takes out the basecoat next, which is technically porous so then you start to have rust forming. However, regardless of which type of paint, if you already have surface rust showing through that means that paint is pretty much gone anyway. I would go ahead and do the CLR treatment, but only on the rusted areas. CLR shouldn't harm any good paint it touches as long as you wash it off after. Just don't use a Scotch-Brite anywhere there's still good paint. My project vehicle has some rust spots that are kind of scattered randomly amongst decent paint, so I bought some white Scotch Brite pads that are supposed to be gentler to use on those areas. A green Scotch-Brite will definitely scratch good paint, especially modern clear coat paint.

I owned an almost exactly the same 1963 Olds 98. It was one of the most indestructible vehicles ever, especially the 88 of that year. Wonderful 394 engine. I used to Cruze at 90 MPH. The Big, Big problem with the '63's was the Transmission situation. The bums at GM decided to raise the price and also save money and go from the 4 speed hydro to....a powerhouse!!!! Terrible milage 6 mpg!!! And driver control. The ONLY real option you had is to have the dealer or some trans guru put in a Pontiac 421 trans which bolted up pretty easy. If you did that however you had a totally amazing ride. You could drive 500 miles and get out and go out to dinner or to work. It rode THAT well......

What I always like about these old cars is the dashboard with the big numbers.

Can't believe there's still paint there after getting all that rust off. Great idea using the CLR on a rusty vehicle. Will have to try that on my old '86 Toyota 4x4 that's been sitting under pine trees for 25+ years. LOL

WOW! Impressive! Love the sound of those old V8's too!!

STUNNING car. Needs to be garage kept. The clean up results are so satisfying. Love that Olds.

WOW!! I would never have believed that finish would clean up like that. Guess that "Magic Mirror Acrylic Lacquer" they used was damn good. I have a 61 Super 88, but I like the 63 98 equally.

Wow this is awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Great! I’m going to have to do this to my 63 Fairlane wagon. Maybe I’ll make a video lol. My car looks a little rougher than yours. Great job!

Just bumped upon this video. i absolutely love this car. thanks for sharing.

What rubbing compound did u use?

What was in the spray bottle that was 50/50 ?

Great tip to preserve the classic chrome trim/wheels once you get it rust free and you want it to stay that way mist a shop rag with w.d.-40 it’ll seal the pin holes and drive water away. it’s a water displacer it won’t stain but it’ll keep the chrome protected and when your ready to cruise just rinse it down polish it and when your ready to let it sit up a while wipe her chrome back down with w.d.-40 works great in snowy areas especially. I use permatex rust dissolver gel and a mother’s long bristled brush to remove rust from chrome.

A wax job does wonders on a car sometimes! Try to sell some of the cars instead of keep fixing the same problems. You could get some GOOD money and have money to fix other cars. Park the good cars at the house or in the garage. Keep batteries inside during the Winter and keep them charged.

how long did you let the clr sit on the car before you used the pads to get it off????

Looks like a completely different beast then what we've seen all these years. It looks good.
