1951 Ford F1: Video #14 -- Pondering the Patina

[@ChadDrake4185]

My favorite method is to wash the surface with soap, water and a scotchbrite pad to prep the surface. That removes the dirt and lose oxidation. I then use 1/2 boiled linseed oil cut in half with 1/2 mineral spirts applied very lightly with a rag. Very lightly being key. Then let it dry and reapply when needed. I wish I videoed when I did my my 39 cabover patina. It looked a lot like your truck with the surface oxidation. It's now an amazing red with 84 years of character.
