Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Today's weather was perfect for hosing off a Flightliner Deluxe that I picked up a couple of days ago. I got a dribble coming from the hose and took a wet SOS pad to the entire bike then followed up by making a pad out of a sheet of aluminum foil and scrubbing it. That pad along with some water cleaned it up a little more. I didnt want to go the Oxalic Acid bath or molasses dip because I'm not ready to disassemble it. You can see that with about 45 minutes of work a lot of the rust is gone. Neither SOS pads nor aluminum foil can get into all the crevices so there's still a long way to go. But this is a good start and gives me an idea as to yet lies ahead
