what do ya do about the rust that forms when you wash off the vinegar water!??!? I have the same problems with removing dioxidine and any other rust treatments that are washed off with water!

[diyautoschool]

@shredBucketheadshred You take your d/a sander with either 180 or 80 grit and clean it off, ruff the surface up and then epoxy prime.. Pete

Mr Pete: Great video...wish I had know this before my last rusty resto. Questions fer ya:

1. After the vinegar mix, how about rubbing baking soda/water mix over the area to neutralize the vinegar residue?

2. Lastly, seems like a rub down with mineral spirits would be good before priming...that ok?

3. When you mix up a 5 gal container of vinegar/water mix, surely you can put tha top on and save it for the next job, right?

4. Spray paint...upside down and spray to keep it from clogging.

[diyautoschool]

@crazeyspivey You got it backwards, the vinegar is used to neutralize the baking soda, not the other way around. Rubbing mineral spirits on your freshly applied bondo before priming would not be a good idea, no I don't keep the vinegar water mix because the cost of the vinegar is very cheap and there's no need to keep used dirty water, and yes that is a good way to keep your spray can paint tips clean by spraying them out upside down.. Thanks Pete

Pete,

I have to say I have been impressed with this three part series. While I don't judge a book by its cover I want you to know that you kept the colorful language down and I enjoyed these much more than some of your others. Not to say you shouldn't express yourself, its your video, just thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it easier for some of us to listen to. You are a great fountain of old school git er done with no BS. God bless ya for sharing.
