Bump

1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible -Car has been in my family since 1969 -Frame off restoration -32,xxx original miles Additional details below Thanks, Brian...

they are simple cars but you guys know all the tips and tricks...that is helpful info

joe 1950, great color!

The carburetor is leaking fuel and I've never pulled the air filter housing off...still learning

Does the filter sit in oil all the time or only when the car is running? I need to pull it off and I want to avoid making a mess unnecessarily. Thanks, Brian

Oh...you mean literally a canteen lol I thought that was a brand

Good information thanks

What brand tank/cap is everyone going with? My goal would be a solution that I could remove (I don't want to drill any holes). Pics would be great. Thanks! -Brian

Yes Sir that’s it…for clear coated cars it works great…I use a clay mit before I apply it…I need to do more research on non-clear coated cars…my ‘50 will only see sunny days so the set it and forget it aspect of the 5 year product is appealing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Google - "Most professional detailers swear by using a polishing compound and orbital polishers as the best way to remove a newer ceramic coating" Doing a quick search I don't think that is an issue...the benefit of protecting the paint far outweighs it...many folks send their new cars right...

The spray on stuff that I use (Griots) is supposed to last about 3 mos...the product that is applied with an applicator 5-7 years

I use the Griots Ceramic Spray on everything else...thinking about getting the car detailed/ceramic once it's back from the shop for it's spring debut (only took 30 years)...wasn't sure if there was anything negative concerning the paint

Just curious...has anyone ceramic coated a car with a stock (meaning factory) paint job?
