Chemical dipping a BMW 2002 turbo

I have another bmw 2002 in the shop but this time is a 2002 turbo. As promised this video is shot in landscape by popular demand! I’m going to take you all through the process of getting this classic BMW down to bare metal so the people restoring it have a blank canvas to work with!

I have been in the auto body industry for over 50 years. In my opinion this is the best way to start a QUALITY restoration job. All the past sins are revealed and you have clean metal to work with. Sandblasting and media blasting with all its problems cannot hold a candle to this method.

Finally, landscape with HD. I like watching all the rinses and all the dips. Great video. Great car.

[@minute_of_dangle]

Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed it!

[@markdavis2475]

Love the new format! Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Very interesting to see the processes. That BMW looked almost mint compared to the ones in Europe!!!

[@minute_of_dangle]

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! This car was definitely in solid shape!

[@JerseyTom]

Thank you for landscape! These vids are really satisfying, being able to watch on TV or computer as well as phone is great

[@jeffklaubo3168]

As someone who does a lot of pressure washing myself, if I can give you a tip.... Always start your turbo nozzles pointed straight down if possible. They last waaaay longer. I dont know how much you pay for yours, but mine are about $150-200 a piece for mine.

[@minute_of_dangle]

I actually didn’t know that. I appreciate the info!

[@Bmansmith10]

Thank you for this tip. I was also unaware. I’m going to start doing this now.

[@danbusey]

Where I can get a quote? I have a project that I'll need the paint stripped out

[@minute_of_dangle]

[phone] call this number

[@tik888]

I am very interested to see you. I love seeing other people's cars getting better and better. I have one question. In order to make it easier to remove the paint, I think it is effective to use chemicals to expose the metal base of the car body. But what about hard-to-reach pockets like the inside of the side sills and the inside of the rear quarter panel? There are cases where the electro-deposited paint from the manufacturing of new cars remains partially, and won't the peeled parts become more likely to rust?

[@jeffreyshepherd8488]

Just spray cavity wax in there?

[@tonybino01]

That looked like the toughest paint/soundproofing peeling off ever.

[@minute_of_dangle]

BMW paint and soundproofing is always crazy tough. Porsche is another one that has very tough soundproofing. Their factory paint is pretty easy to remove though.

[@mellilore]

This has quickly become my second favorite "dips" video.

[@bmw128racer]

What chemicals are you using to do the stripping, neutralizing, rust removal, etc.?

[@boogiehound]

Have a question. 1960's -1970's GM cars have a data plate that is riveted to the firewall with special rivet's. The data plate I believe is made out of aluminum. Would the aluminum data plate hold up to the chemicals in rust removal tank?

[@minute_of_dangle]

No it would get eaten. We tell everyone to remove any tags. We always go over them just in case. 75% of customers forget to remove or miss some of the tags. Then we call ask for permission to drill the rivets out and save the tag

[@hkansler]

this work makes repairing the sheet much easier, see how it really is and where repairs were made and any kind of corrosion appears, fantastic this is the dream of any car restorer

[@minute_of_dangle]

❤❤❤

[@Failociraptor]

I honestly love this stuff so much it's making me want to open this business up here in Canada. I work in the auto industry and have almost 2 decades of clients, many of whom would use this service. I'd love to know more!

[@minute_of_dangle]

I’m glad you enjoy it. I don’t own the business so I can’t give any trade secrets out. You’d have to call the owners or email them to see if they’d give you info

[@kaidzaack2520]

Awesome! One of my schoolfriend dad had one of these around 1980. Us on the backseat without seatbelts. Hell on wheels! 🥳🫶🫶🫶 Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪

[@minute_of_dangle]

Awesome! Cheers!

[@justindake]

If that's an original Turbo, that is extremely rare and extremely expensive compared to any other 2002. You can tell the Germans certainly did not intend any of that to be removed.

[@minute_of_dangle]

It had the turbo badge on the fenders. Apparently the restoration process is going to be featured in a magazine

[@danielprivate7442]

1672 Turbos were made. Who hell knows how many of those are left?

[@justindake]

Cant be many. @minute_of_dangle will be on the lookout for that feature!

[@leolldankology]

​@@danielprivate7442 325

[@Easton21]

Not authentic or original. BMW cut both layers and welded the rear fenders to install larger tires and then used fiberglass fender flares all around. This 2002 has hackjob rolled fenders, in terrible rusty shape. This is thankfully just a replica.

[@Pro100Ickpa]

And do you somehow protect bare metal from rusting after you finish cleaning it ?

[@tik888]

I was curious about that too.

[@michaelfk2548]

One of your best !.

[@adrienlanglois4963]

what is the difference between sandblasting and acid. I find your method really good

[@arnoschmadt2686]

I did many by beadblasting . this seems to be very very good and solid. However I have a lot of questions about the procedure, and the cost. Where can I find that ?like 1st basc PH>7 how high and what to use? Acid to kill the rust laster? how to neutralize and prevent the chassis then from immediate rusting coz its wshed,...many questions... and how much wouod be a degreasing/derusting of a car body? bikes too? thank you

[@bryanpowell3724]

Another thanks for the landscape perspective. You should mount a GoPro on the powerwasher wand for an interesting shot.

[@sttm1283]

its always nice to see this. however though im wondering how you will get all the rustprotection back in all the nooks and crannies since you pretty much removed every coating of the car. dip it in primer like the factory do? pls enlighten me.

[@minute_of_dangle]

Unfortunately I don’t restore them. A lot of the shops that use us apply a phosphoric based rust converter in all the cavities. They use 360degree nozzles and pull it through the braces and quarters. It creates a phosphate coating that protects the metal and you can prime over it. Then all the seams are treated with a cavity wax that penetrates all the pinch welds and overlapping metal.

[@kbstone]

Landscape mode! Thank you!

[@minute_of_dangle]

🤙 thanks for watching!!!

[@race-partners]

these BMWs are stubborn! 2002 Turbo are worth a fortune. Incredibly rare car and a really good restoration candidate at any cost.

[@aerial_camera_video_imaging]

Excellent, landscape video 👍 you have earned the subscription! 😁

[@tint661]

I had an 86 Mercedes Benz E190. It had that rubberized undercoating on it. It's a tuff coating until it gets a scratch or an abrasion. Then rust will form and it will hold water and rust out in that area. It is a good idea but not fool proof.

[@tsarbomba1]

Love the Landscape mode!

[@bruceyoung1343]

SWEET. LOVE BMW’S

[@trevordeane3940]

I have seen this done properly several times and the shells were fantastic by various companies. This one was not done well. You could still see the black rust pitting in the firewall seam and in the boot spare wheel well.

[@kennethdoran5840]

It would be helpful if you just add a notation indicating the duration spent in each tank as you lift it out.

[@minute_of_dangle]

I’ll definitely remember to do that next time. I appreciate your feedback

[@jamescampbell7780]

I’m presuming that the liquid can be re used or possibly filtered?

[@minute_of_dangle]

Glad you like them! I appreciate you watching, and thank you!

[@sgranty02]

wow it even removed that sound proofing inside off! I remember chipping that off by hand took days!!

[@jayinmi3706]

Interesting to watch...do you have the capability to do some sort of dipping like primer or sealer to prevent surface rust in transit back to the owner?

[@minute_of_dangle]

We dip it in a temporary water based rust inhibitor. Lasts up to 30 days

[@chrisplace3024]

Great Job as always.

[@minute_of_dangle]

Thanks buddy!

[@markbrown8141]

I was wondering what was the significance of the action figure that was on the car when the car went in for the first alkaline dip

[@DavidB-rx3km]

Hello I'm just wondering, is the acid very corrosive or is it quite mild, and how often do you have to change the acid and alkali baths or drain them to get the sludge out? Thanks!

[@minute_of_dangle]

It’s mild. Food grade. Comparable to a strong vinegar. Acid about every 2 years, alkaline paint remover lasts about 5 years because we can spike it

[@DavidB-rx3km]

@@minute_of_dangle Thanks for replying. I had a BMW 2002Tii in about 2005 for £250 that had been standing for years. I put my foot in the footwell to get in and the entire floor of the car fell out. Food cans now no doubt.

[@MrGermany18]

How often do you change chemicals? What happens to the pressure washer runoff?

[@minute_of_dangle]

Paint removal chemical lasts about 5 years. We can spike it. Acid lasts about 2 years. We have a pit under the washbay that’s separate from our sewer drainage. The runoff is collected there. We then pump it out into evaporation tanks that have heat exchangers to evaporate all the water out of it. What’s left is a neutral sludge. We then pay a company who specializes in chemical waste disposal to dispose of it properly for us.

[@TheJcman72]

[@VampyrMygg]

I almost got worried seeing a 2002 body being lifted, these things seem to have been made from cheese, so even it you had one with a trailer hitch, you probably shouldn't tow anything, as it might bend the whole car by the C pillars. Oddly... it looks like a fun job to be dipping cars like that, similarly as sand/glass/soda/water/etc blasting, they kinda soothe my ADHD in a way, or trigger hyperfixation for a while, so I enjoy watching it, and the times I've gotten to use a cabinet to sandblast stuff people had to come tear me away for lunch. XD
