Mineral Deposits from Hell

Looks like he did pretty good with it, not as good on the vertical surfaces, perhaps you need to teach him the trick of soaking a towel on those surfaces. Anyway, looks like a fantastic result so far, looking forward to the rest of the story about how it cleans up after polishing.

Bet the auction guys are sorry they didn't try a bottle of vinegar first.

I agree, Swanic's suggestion of soaking MF in vinegar is exactly what I have in mind on the remaining areas of build up.

If anything this sucker is a good subject to hone my wet sanding skills on!!!!

I wonder, if the Jeep's mechanically sound:
Will the amount of money the owner saved, by getting it for a song, be enough towards affording a decent re-spray.

I'm afraid that once you would get rid of all of these highly-alkaline, hellacious mineral deposits...the underlying paint will be burnt toast.

Yeah, I wonder too. I certainly wouldn't have bought it...
