Interesting, thanks for the information! Definitely something to consider.
I forgot that Stay Tuned (Tony Angelo) just did a squarebody rescue about a month ago. It’s worth watching from the beginning because it’s cool to see the shape that they find it and how it turns out- but if you just want to see the VGG clear coat application, fast forward to 48:45.

@ChuckN, interested to see before and after with the patina juice! Is your truck still original paint? Difference between polishing the paint and the clear? I’ve been thinking of this for Stay Around Brown (aka the dogs’ truck. They love riding in it.)
Not for the shine but paint protection.
Wondering if this stuff (patina sauce, wipe on clear, whateveryoucallit) got its start as floor polish? Old RVer trick is to use Zep High Traffic Floor Polish I think that’s the type. Anyway it will shine up oxidized gel/powder/paint and leave a coating that lasts a while (years, depending how sun baked it gets).

Brown got a little work yesterday. Tired of it leaving piss marks of power steering fluid randomly. Pressure hose (looked original) had a little crack. Think it was also swelled up inside, have to cut it in half and check. Pump used to whine a little. Now it doesn’t.
So nice working on a truck that has no rusted bolts! Replaced both hoses and degreased the mess.

And my buddy was spraying white on his 68 c10 yesterday so I hopped on fixing the front bumper on the Camaro in hopes of getting it ready, driving over and mooching an ounce or 2 of white paint, already mixed up and in the gun on a sunny 70deg day with no bugs! Color looks pretty close actually. But didn’t get done in time before he finished up.
