well started on the nose this morning. the weather forecast for houston looked pretty horrible but i decided to get as far as i could before the downpour.

ive read up on the testimonials for CLR so i thought id give it a try on the worst part of the bus... the nose

and the majic stuff... CLR

man, if the previous owner hadnt covered the nose with a leather "bra" i bet it would be perfect. well i guess it could be alot worse than it is.

i figured id be doing a few passes with this stuff so keep in mind this is just the first scrub. and it works badass!

passenger door bottom before

passager door bottom after

pulled the headlight ring and nose emblem, as ive heard the CLR will eventually eat away at the finish. cant vouch if this is true or not, but i removed them anyhow.
ill just put some quick before, during, and afters as the weather forced me inside for the time being. ill finish it up sunday and post some good shots.

and a little in progress side by side, before and after

It looks like it won't be long and you will be able to post up a positive testimonial of your own ......looks good so far!

this took me about a solid hour. although i did go down the street to pick up some more 0000 steel wool. ill post a close up in a bit of the paint. in someplaces its cracking like crazy. i know i took a bunch off to get at the rust but i feel it was worth it.
