I still have the running boards in my garage and I think all the miscellaneous bolts and brackets and nuts and rust, oh nevermind that last part, but if you know someone that wants them, let them know and we'll work something out, no problem.

I used rubbing compound by Turtle Wax, and then followed it up with the Turtle Wax-in the green canister. I started off washing it real good with a car washing liquid and then started the compound. I don't know if there is a difference b/t rubbing and polishing, or which is better, but I would...

I live in Panama City Beach, not exactly close, but in the same state. Almost all the coastal areas look real similar though.

I decided to take those running boards off last year b/c they are Ugly. It didn't take long except for a couple of rusty bolts, but I think the setup looks a ton better without them. I hope this shine last more than a couple of days, but the hard part is done with the initial rub down and wax...

Yep, I got the wading polish called Never Dull and it shined the bumpers up great. Like you said the deep rust doesn't come off the rims like magic, but that stuff made a big difference in their appearance. Good suggestion.

I just wanted to post some before and after pics of my cruiser after she got all shined up. I just got done today and I love the way it looks now. Before, it was depressing. Anyway, it took a wash, rubbing compound, turtle wax, and about 8 hours of "wax on wax off daniel son", but it was worth...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I went with the Never Dull by Eagle One and it worked a little. The shine is amazing where there was just surface rust, but it doesn't touch the deep stuff. Cabron was right about that. Also check out my new post on before and after, rubbing compound and wax.

The best way to get rid of the oxidized paint is a good paint job, but a cheaper option with more personal labor is to wet sand with a fine grit paper and then wax and buff it out. If there is still enough paint left on the vehicle, meaning if you can't already see primer through it, it should...

How To Fix Rusty Wheels? Does anyone have any tips on refurbishing rusty original wheels on my 84 fj60. The exterior paint is in bad shape also, oxidized and dull, but I know how to fix that. Oh, and did I mention I'd prefer the most economical way to make them look good again. Thanks for the...

OZZIE: You keep this up, and you are out of here.
