Considering you had a 55 year old acre of sheet metal to work on ,fantastic job turned out great.
Paul G you’re an idiot

“Mediocre”
He did an excellent job considering where it came from. Very, very good job!
A six-window 1963 Ninety-Eight. No matter what you do to it, it's a stunning car.
I think it's a '64. '63's had same body, but smaller tail lights.
No that is a '63 Olds Ninety-Eight.
Definitely a 63 because I have a 64 in my garage right now 😃
Taillights give it away as a 1963.
It is a beautiful car! Beats the suv look a like junk we have today.
Would never have believed it would clean up so nicely. Great car!
Paul G , Maybe not CLR and a scotch brite pad. However ospho would take the rust right off. I know this because I work on a sea going tug boat and we battle rust on the daily.
Just because you don't understand how or why it worked, doesn't mean it didn't. Rust bleeds through small holes in the coating and spreads. Rust does the same on chrome yet chrome polish removes huge patches of rust to reveal the chrome coating beneath.
Paul G , it's not the original luster. He polished it with rubbing compound and then waxed it. If you put several coats of wax on something it it going to have a shine to it.
I never thought of CLR and Scotch Brite for rust on car. Great job and thanks for tips!
@@PabloDiablo682 are you sure? It'd be a pretty bad job for a repaint. Still pin head rust spots everywhere.
It works only on surface rust.
Works pretty good getting the rust stains off and making the little pin hole rust almost invisible, comet soap works good too
does the CLR eat through the paint ?
@@PabloDiablo682 it's not paint its clr
That's the advantage of an old lacquer paint job from the factory...polishes up great! You would never do that on a modern base coat/ clear finish though.
Not a GM guy but Lacquer paint was awesome stuff . Great to paint with and nothing in the day could match it's shine . Holds up well after all these years to !
More like enamel
That thing starts up like it just came off the showroom floor!
I swear I just said the same thing
Yeah absolutely mint
yeah after a million times of pumping the Gas 😂🍻👍✌😁
this is the best type of restoration in my opinion, you are preserving the history of the car,great work.
My dad had the same exact color 63 Ninety Eight, loved that car... always told him that I loved the tailights. I'm 56 now & I still remember telling him... I've owned that car from 63 to 68
i miss them old ocean liners. that would dwarf the caddy's and lincolns of today.
Gas mileage would dwarf the money in your wallet too
Nothing wrong with 4dr sedans, love them, they always out sold any other models
actually I have a 1971 polara with a 2bbl 383 and with a change to a electric water pump and fan and a/c delete (didn't work in the first place) $200 all in. I went from 12mpg to 20mpg
Bah 53. G M lacquer never lasted very long ,restorers and body shop started using other types of paint and clear coat
My '90 Cadillac Brougham D'elegance is as long as a extended cab short box SuperDuty! Caddy made a huge RWD Fleetwood until 1996.
Love that land yacht. Wish stuff like that were still made.
Had a '63 just like that one,basically the same color. Loved it, but lost it due to driving it illegally and stalling away from home. It was towed to a police impound and l couldn't afford to get it out. A painful memory from 50 years ago. 😪
There's something great about old American cars painted in light turquoise colors thats just looks right. I had a '65 Mustang painted Dynasty Green with white/turquoise interior that looked awesome. Those turquoise colors make any old car look great.
Wow, Spectacular! It is an absolute joy to see these old beautys brought back to life in a sort of "natural" way. Just making what is already there sparkler.
I once bought a 68 cougar xr7 black/white top in Arizona. The paint was dull and looked gray in color and the top was sort of a tan color from years in the sun. I went over the paint with rubbing compound and then put two coats of Duraglow polyurethane sealer (from J C Whitney) on it and then several coats of wax. I used vinyl top restore on the top and when I got done, it looked like I had just restored the whole car with new paint and a new top. A lot of love went into that car and it was worth it...
And queue the Patina Guys violin's playing! hahahaha.... Looks AWESOME! My beetle I just wet sanded it with 400, 600, 800 and then 1000 grit (it was pretty rough) and then hit it with a coat of clear, and WOW. What a difference that made.
This is still patina.
Wow. This will have me happy for a while on my 74 nova. Then i can save up for a paint job
I should have said "Hardcore Patina Guys". I love Patina and have the look on my Beetle. Which is not a fake Patina. I love the outcome of this car and how well it turned out. I never thought it was possible. :)
barfass u
Wow, that's an amazing transformation, I can't believe the roof came back like it did!
Had a 95 mitsubishi that was so faded it looked pink. 3 hours with rubbing compound and turtle wax it looked great. Revived the faded gray plastic inside by slathering wirh armor all. Best $800 car ever
A true classic, from when cars were cars. Vinyl bench seats, AM radio, 3-speed automatic on the column, and a big V-8 (I'm guessing maybe a 371, or a 394) with a 4-barrel carb, power brakes that would throw you through the windshield, with power steering that you could turn with one finger. I miss these old tanks. I've driven many of them, but I've never owned one. And you did a great job with this one. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely incredible, you'd never have convinced me it could turn out that good with just cleaners and polish. WOW. Great video!
The results -- especially from the CLR and Scotchbrite pad -- are quite impressive.
I wanna go back in time so bad, cars back then were so cool! Hell everything back then was cool! Cars, music, architecture, decor, neon signage, etc.
Man, what a difference! That thing is still in really nice shape! Looks Great!!!
That looks a thousand times better.
What a transformation, awesome job!... Detailing is one of those things that gives you instant gratification.
That car came back to life. What a beauty...
Amazing how much better paint jobs were back in the day
Wow that’s a huge difference and it looks absolutely beautiful now. The olds is in amazing shape for being so old and still driven. Ya should make another startfest. Love those vids
Bro that's a mean looking machine & u did a great job, it cleaned up real nice... 100 times better... wow
Man that made a huge difference!!!! Lovely Olds BTW, amazing how straight and rust free that body is, and that interior looks nice as well from what I could see. She's begging for a repaint though, let her sparkle in her former glory.
Great Work difference is night and day so scotch brite and clr then compound then wax in that order and this was all hand done no buffer wow im impressed and motivated
Can't believe there's still paint there after getting all that rust off.
Great idea using the CLR on a rusty vehicle. Will have to try that on my old '86 Toyota 4x4 that's been sitting under pine trees for 25+ years. LOL
I never understood what people see in "Patina" on an old car. What they see as patina I see as a sure sign of neglect. I'd much rather have a good, clean, shiny car than one that's been neglected. If it's old and in good running condition, clean it up but don't restore it - it's only original once. The difference in appearance between before and after on this old Oldsmobile just goes to show what can be done with a little sweat equity. The car is still original, but it's now very presentable. Nice job!
Agreed brother
or, you could get one thats somewhat bad in its exterior condition, but great mechanically, and have it painted nicer than original...
I mean the remaining imperfections in the paint can still be called patina as it's still far from concourse condition and shows the wear and tear of 50 years. But you're right as that the before condition was neglect and it's only original once, after a repaint it'll never be original again. A car that shows its age while still looking cared for is what we should be striving for, a repaint, especially a cheap half-assed one, would kinda ruin it. Good paint jobs as in remove every single piece of trim, the windows, doors etc costs a lot of money so you sadly see a lot of otherwise nice cars with shitty paint jobs when the original paint could have been restored just fine.
My Dad had one of those Oldsmobiles the same color. I think it was his favorite car. I was maybe 6 or 7 could have been younger. I somehow got it into reverse and the car backed into a ditch and my Dad had to get a tow truck. Boy was he mad! You did real good to made her look good!
Nice job cleaning that Olds up compared to what you started with. Dad had a 1950 Olds first car I worked on with him after 120,000 miles he decided to do the top end on it I was 8 yrs old I am 67 now. Also took my first drivers test in my Moms 1965 Olds Jetstar 88. I bought about the same year olds 98 you have for a car for my wife to drive always started. Thanks for the memories and thanks for sharing. Never thought of using CLR on a car for rust works good.
Bright-o, Bright-o, makes old bodies new! We'll sell a million bottles! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo!
Thanks for not thinking it should be all patina i like people like you that fix them up
Good video. Doing this process made a big difference. The best part about your effort is that you protected the body from getting worse. My experience with wax that doesn't leave white behind is that it doesn't last as long as regular wax. I see almost a few years have passed since you did this and I'm thinking you should check it to see if there's any wax remaining on it. It may be ready for another waxing by now.
My mother loved oldsmobiles. Went from a failing ninety eight to a Toronado-front wheel drive., and that thing had some power to it.
Back in the late 70's I had a blue 98 convertible it was a blast to drive down the road! I really liked the old Oldsmobiles. Nice job on cleaning her up!
You're inspiring me to polish up my old car. It's much smaller than the Oldsmobile so I have no excuse :)
Looks Great!!, love those 1963 Olds 98 cars
Amazing what a little elbow grease and determination can do. Transformed it! Very inspirational!!!
It's really nice to hear and see a *REAL* car again!! They just don't make 'em like they used to!!
So often, cars can be cleaned and detailed and look great.....but because people don't take the time to do it, they turn into parts cars.
That's how you can get a great deal on an old car too!
Big improvement on the Olds. I used steel wool and diesel fuel, then rubbing compound on my Merc which is actually right down to primer and bare metal in places. Steel wool worked great on the chrome and stainless trim too.
Try using SOS pads. Steel wool can sometimes be too abrasive.
Fine steel wool is very good for chrome
InternetDude Not all steel wool is fine.
@@dj33036
#0000 steel wool is all i use works great
This is the beauty of single stage paint! If this was a base coat clear coat you would of never been able to Bing it back to extent you did!!...you did an amazing job!...it looks awesome,i wouldn't paint it as the patina looks great!!
So finally, I also added classic six carbs a better cam and Jardines long tube headsets tuned for broad torque. I put on Holly economizers for the two center carbs so it now got 12 to 15 mpg! Amazing! As long as you did not crack the end carbs. But when you did this 4200 lbs vehicle would take off like well, like a rocket Oldsmobile if you held the trans in 2 and then in 3 speed. Finally sold car to my cousin who still has it. Wonderful memories.....
NOTE:
Do not use “CLR” or Scrubbing pads on Base Coat-Clear Coat paint‼️‼️
(Nice detail job 🙂❗️)
What year would the Base Coat-Clear Coat paint be established?
Any other recommendations to remove surface rust IF the car has Base Coat-Clear Coat paint?
My roof has some surface rust and it's a 1994 truck. Need some advice. Thanks!
@@thinkjon Most auto makers went to base-clear paint sometime between the late 80s and early 90s. it depends on the brand. A 1994 truck is most likely two stage paint (base and clear), although it could be single stage paint (no clear), I had a 1992 S-10 Blazer that had single stage dark green paint, but my 1991 Jeep Cherokee has a clearcoat from the factory. Those early clear coats often failed from UV exposure, for example it's extremely common to see GM trucks from that era with surface rust on the roof, hood, and top of bedsides. Once the clear fails and flakes off the UV takes out the basecoat next, which is technically porous so then you start to have rust forming.
However, regardless of which type of paint, if you already have surface rust showing through that means that paint is pretty much gone anyway. I would go ahead and do the CLR treatment, but only on the rusted areas. CLR shouldn't harm any good paint it touches as long as you wash it off after. Just don't use a Scotch-Brite anywhere there's still good paint.
My project vehicle has some rust spots that are kind of scattered randomly amongst decent paint, so I bought some white Scotch Brite pads that are supposed to be gentler to use on those areas. A green Scotch-Brite will definitely scratch good paint, especially modern clear coat paint.
you sir are a polishing God
Paul G you’re a repetitive moron
I think it looks great. Love those old cars. My Dad had a 1961 Ninety Eight. Wish I could find one in that shape.
This guy is what God sounds like.Most patient voice after working so crazy hard scotch briting,clay barring,then polishing that Yacht. I'd make a video grunting,and frustrated ,sounding mad that i have to work . I bellyache just tying my shoes.
Night and day difference, great work on keeping that old beauty up.
I was exhausted as soon as you said, all in a days work... glad you took it day by day... you got a good workout, and something to show for it.
I love American classics. If i had one i would polish it and probably fall in love with it
I had a silver car that was faded bad and did rubbing compound and many coats of wax. No buffer just hand waxing. I'd add wax to a small section every night after dinner. I don't know how many coats but it shined real nice after a while. I even added lemon Pledge a couple of times :) Thanks for the video.
Great! I’m going to have to do this to my 63 Fairlane wagon. Maybe I’ll make a video lol. My car looks a little rougher than yours. Great job!
It's a shame when you see the cars now that COULD HAVE looked this good, with a fair amount of work of course, but instead the owner went the easy route and stayed with the before,,, JUST for the "Patina, Patina, Patina!!" Boy Scout Badge. Gotta do the in thing, lol. Jump on that bandwagon! Anyway, GREAT JOB!!! The old girl looks waaaaaay better!! Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed it, I used to ride in one of these, it was A 63 Olds 98, a white one same body style, from a private school we went to at the time, a neighbor around the corner had it. Actually I liked their light green 62 Olds 98 best. A friend of theirs turned this 63 in on a new 64 Lincoln and my friends Dad bought it. At the time I didn't realize this was almost a Cadillac
Well. That’s impressive. Before looked like there was little paint left to polish, but after, there it was.
Oooooh looks like a completely different car! You should get it road ready and enjoy it before Winter sets in.
Your voice is very calming to listen to. Really enjoyed watching you work on the exterior of ur Oldsmobile!! It’s looking a lot better from where it was when the video first started :)
Great tip to preserve the classic chrome trim/wheels once you get it rust free and you want it to stay that way mist a shop rag with w.d.-40 it’ll seal the pin holes and drive water away. it’s a water displacer it won’t stain but it’ll keep the chrome protected and when your ready to cruise just rinse it down polish it and when your ready to let it sit up a while wipe her chrome back down with w.d.-40 works great in snowy areas especially. I use permatex rust dissolver gel and a mother’s long bristled brush to remove rust from chrome.
Nice job mate, big effort.
Love the colour and your after shots give some
idea of what this beauty would have looked like ,
when some proud man or woman picked it up
from the dealer ship, all those years ago.
Looks great. Also, the best taillights ever.
I owned an almost exactly the same 1963 Olds 98. It was one of the most indestructible vehicles ever, especially the 88 of that year. Wonderful 394 engine. I used to Cruze at 90 MPH. The Big, Big problem with the '63's was the Transmission situation. The bums at GM decided to raise the price and also save money and go from the 4 speed hydro to....a powerhouse!!!! Terrible milage 6 mpg!!! And driver control. The ONLY real option you had is to have the dealer or some trans guru put in a Pontiac 421 trans which bolted up pretty easy. If you did that however you had a totally amazing ride. You could drive 500 miles and get out and go out to dinner or to work. It rode THAT well......
My Dad @ Mom had the same car but Dark blue purple. I loved the car growing up. I called it the Bat mobile. With all the electronic gadgets (auto dimmer/wonder bar/little fold up tray/electric windows/electric seats)
"The game is sticky but I can see it clear reminds me of scotch tape " styles p top 5 on my list
What I always like about these old cars is the dashboard with the big numbers.
STUNNING car. Needs to be garage kept. The clean up results are so satisfying.
Love that Olds.
Impressive difference even just with the CLR....with the wax on she's a beaut!
Looks like a completely different beast then what we've seen all these years. It looks good.
I owned a 63 Dynamic 88, with the 4 speed auto, 394cid. rocky 2bbl.
She was like driving on a comfy sofa in 8 inches of fresh powder snow.
Unfortunately, the previous owners neglected filter and fluid change in the Dynaglide trans.
So she had a leaky seal and would not go anymore. Transmissions of this era, particullarly pre 1964, had a pump
In the rear. So push starting @ 8-12mph with a dead battery, was Aces on a downward slope.
The wide Vee angle on all those V8's of the era, with shaft rockers is so Smooothhh from idle to 90mph.
Wow. I just got a real crusty one with a ton of surface rust, great patina but i want the rust far less in your face. Amazing gow much paint was under the staining. I hope i can get similar results. Thanks!
WOW doesn't even look like the same car. CLR never thought about using that
Will try that on my car. Thanks
@@PabloDiablo682
Dude you are trolling the comments saying it was a paint hack.. PROVE IT or move along and get a hobby
@@PabloDiablo682
Thats not proof..
Damn that hell of difference though. Looking good
I like that a lot and really worked well. The Olds is sweet.
Thanks for the help I have a 64 Buick black and white this will help
Ohh Wow! That's a sweet Olds!⚡👏👀⚡
Just bumped upon this video. i absolutely love this car. thanks for sharing.
Old beauties turn like a boat long and wide
………….I had an old '64 Valiant Signet (same turquoise paint) that was oxidized just as bad as your Oldsmobile so I spent the day cut polishing it. It came up pretty good but the years had done their damage. Man, did my arms ache by the end of the day. The trunk and hood are easy because gravity works to your advantage...…….but the side panels and doors were a grunt because I had to rub so hard to get any results. Good stuff. :)
A wax job does wonders on a car sometimes! Try to sell some of the cars instead of keep fixing the same problems. You could get some GOOD money and have money to fix other cars. Park the good cars at the house or in the garage. Keep batteries inside during the Winter and keep them charged.
Timing is everything. I about to start on my 1967 Olds 98. The bank end of the car looks like yours did maybe a little more rusty. I saw another video where he used an acid. I forget the name but it in green vegetables My car is brown so we shall see how it’s works out.
Amazing transformation! I'm surprised how good it looks now! I didn't know it was even possible to remove rust like that without damaging the paint!
That car is more luxurious than any modern car. I don’t care about your fancy interior and fancy TVs. As long as it’s old and works it’s luxurious.
It's absolutely perfect.
Looks good to me think I’ll try that on my 85 Monte ss
I never thought it was possible to clean rust off of an old car. Thanks for the great tip.
You da MAN! Viva le difference! Awesome!
Nice! Did same thing with an old 64' Chrysler Newport. Nice tip on the CLR!
Awesome job, on the Oldsmobile,👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
What a great job. The car looks like a great survivor. I would enjoy driving it.
Like night and day! Came out absolutely beautiful. Perhaps hit it with F12 (ceramic pro) coating to prevent the rust from coming back and protect its shine.
Looks great! Grandma would be proud!
Damn nice lookin Ninety Eight there. It cleaned up really nice considering the rust that was on it!
Amazing. The car actually went from green to blue also. Very nice.
That is one nice Oldsmobile. Real class.
Thank you so much, I've got a 65 Chevy truck I'm getting ready to start polishing on.... Great info, I am an Olds fan, cool car!
Great old car. Nice job! Looks much better
You have a proper 70's car-commercial voice.
Wow what a Transformation I would keep it like that looks Original 😎
