[fixou812]

A little trick for shining up faded paint. Makes it look good for a week.
Fill a five gallon bucket fill over half way with hot water. add a couple shots of dish soap
Half a cup of new motor oil and a couple quarts of diesel fuel.
Stur with a scrub brush and go to town!

Hot water, diesel fuel, and cheer is the magic mix here. Lol. Hand wash with that and then pressure wash. Makes old equipment look new.

you can also use comet with a sponge. wet the car and sponge poor some comet on the wet sponge and scrub. wash it off before it dries. works great on single stage paint

I want to see the machine "as parked" could be pressure washed off but anything more and I start
getting suspicous.....what are you trying to hide ?

New seat, gauges, and factory decals help too.

Actually my Title could have put some off.
Say you just got a contract for your old scow crusher at the new pit.
And you want it to look it's best when you just set it up.
Or were Promenade'n your old loader in your daughters New wedding parade.

I knew an old guy that bought and sold tractors in the 80's and 90's that swore by rubbing them down w/ wd-40, don't think I would try it with newer stuff though
