Quick Tip: An Easy Way to Remove Oxidation from Diecast Cars

[@alanraylocklear1117]

I checked out the other channel you mentioned. That guy's work is incredible. The amount of detail he puts into his customs is amazing. I would love to see a build-off between you and Sharon.

[@baremetalHW]

Lol That sounds like fun... as far as customs go I think he would win hands down... He has an eye for detail I don't think I could match at my current skills.

[@michaelrzeszuto777]

baremetalHW Don't count yourself out so quickly.

[@Itzrobgermano]

baremetalHW you do really good restorations and customs, you get the spectraflame so close to the original I bet not many people can do that like you can, don’t matter if you do good detailing or not. It’s based on if your satisfied with the final look.

[@fakermakerprops3948]

Hi! I love your work. I have the wheelie wagon truck. Is there any chance I could send it to you so you can restore it, and send it back?

[@bambilala1]

Thanks for promoting my channel my friend! i really apriciate it.👍👍👍

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks for putting your techniques on KZbin!!

[@DrWhom]

Is the correct pronunciation Shah-(w)RON, just like Ariel the prime minister?

[@astrogoodvibes6164]

WOW!! I know Sharon really well. He does indeed build the most astonishing customs and dioramas. I purchased a couple of his amazing works and they are just mind blowing!!! The detail in his work defies belief and they are just beautiful 'in hand' I nailed two rat rods of his. One was a piece he already had, a '34 Ford coupe and the other was a piece I commissioned from him that is a rat tow truck. I must add though that he is not always taking on commissions, nor is he so ready to sell his work. I just got lucky. His are works of art and as such, they do take time to create. Thanks for featuring Sharon Sir. His pieces are hand painted and the parts and fittings he uses are built from often found objects as Israel has very limited supplies of anything generally. Thanks for the great video as usual, I'll be applying oxidation removal asap to my customs. Cheers from Oz and all the best for the season

[@bambilala1]

Thanks alot Rod! ❤

[@astrogoodvibes6164]

My absolute pleasure Sharon. My feeble words don't express in any way the breathtaking works of art you create. I feel honored that I own some of your work but more importantly, that I know you as a dear friend. Cheers and happy Hanukkah to you and your beloved family brother and peace be on your house.

[@chad3625]

I use a 50/50 lime away/water solution for 4 minutes and then brass brush the base. It’s worked like a charm for me every time.

[@sqTake2]

These videos rule. Between yourself and RaceGrooves I am re-hooked on collecting Hot Wheels + Matchbox cars for the first time in forty years. Now appreciating them from the standpoint of an artist in regards to their presentation of design + form. Excavating in dad's basement over Xmas looking for our bin of survivors from childhood (he says they're there) and no trip to a store is complete without glancing at the toy selections. Have already picked up a few nice goodies to keep gleaming and fascinated by the prospect of "restoring" a few as an artistic challenge. Keep the great work!

[@JohnSTF72]

Thet's a great way to remove oxidation without having to go the way of electropolising. The latter method is faster overall though. Thanks a lot for showing this. Sharon's channel is amazing by the way.

[@connormitchell2929]

I always enjoy watching your videos, thanks for putting them out.

[@ryangriffith3729]

I cant face a day with out these videos

[@DiecastNZ]

This is awesome. Thank you so much! I have a Red 1977 Matchbox Volks-Dragon that is really corroded and that I had no idea what to do with, becaause I am not able to set up an electro-polishing setup, but now I know what to do to restore the base. Thank you! Legend.

I wanna get into restoring hotwheels and stuff so this is a very good tip for a beginner thank you!

[@nacanemusloyale9085]

Do i need rubbing compound to go with the steel wool ? Very informative video love these !

[@fernandochavez4312]

Thanks for this great tip. I have 7 or 8 hot wheels from my childhood, 68’s mostly with some rather bad oxidation underneath. Thanks again👍

[@ketoking9435]

Well it's Saturday and I just stripped down my Matchbox AMC Javelin,,used your trick on the base plate there after used Autosol metal polish and wow shining like a mirror,,,here in the UK we use a product called Cilit Bang bathroom cleaner it worked great on the windows too,,,,have a great Sunday,,,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for Lime Away tip! I've got a couple of cars that I bought from Ebay that could use some oxidation removal.

[@mlaue]

Love your videos! I actually have one of the army staff cars you mentioned in your last video. It's in pretty rough shape but I'd be happy to send it to you if you'd be interested in restoring it! You could keep it afterwards

[@baremetalHW]

Heck yeah!! I don't mind sending it back to you... email me [e-mail]

Hi Baremetalhw! I love your videos, and I would like to,send you a 69 wheelie wagon to restore and send back. How do I do this?

[@terripipher1300]

Love watching your videos as I collected these cars as a kid and found my self collecting just the hard to find red lines now could you use the CLR in your electro polishing to clean it dumb question I know

[@baremetalHW]

I have to look and see what's CLR is made out of....

[@RailRide]

@@baremetalHW I happen to have a container of CLR handy. Under the warning label it reads: Water CAS #7732-18-5, Lactic Acid CAS #79-33-4, Gluconic Acid CAS #526-95-4, Lauramine Oxide CAS #1643-20-5, Tripropylene Glycol n-Butyl Ether CAS #55934-93-5, Blue 1 CAS #3844-45-9, and Yellow 5 CAS #1934-21-0

[@chad3625]

RailRide did you ever try it? Maybe find a more modern car with oxidation to try it on.

[@JustAFocus]

Do you recommend doing this as a prep for selling cars on eBay? Or would doing that reduce their value to buyers? I have a fairly large number of redline cars that I am looking to sell on eBay. Some could use some oxidation removal. Interesting video!

[@looselycollected7505]

Have you tried CLR? I have used it lately to take rust off of files and other old tools. Just wonder what that would do?

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

I think CLR and Lime-Away are the same product, different brands. Both are Calcium-Lime-Rust removers (even though one only has LIME in its name).

[@littlebacchus216]

Checked out Sharon's work and you are not wrong... Someone needs to get him a better camera asap though.

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

I’m came here looking for a way to polish up the bare metal parts of old 70s Japanese die-cast robots. Thanks for the tips.

[@chassegallerie2910]

I've seen someone using a system similar to yours, except that he use vinegar instead of that strong acid you use. And it seems to work fine. Maybe it's not as fast tho.

[@baremetalHW]

Cool..

[@Toppervision1]

Well, wow! I never thought of that. And I'm new here. I'm going to have to look back through your videos for the zinc plating method you mentioned. I'd like to try that.

[@baremetalHW]

The zinc plating videos only a few back so we shouldn't have any trouble finding it

Thank you for this and all of your other superb videos. I restore 1/43rd vintage Dinky and Corgi toys.

[@wreckerjonny6144]

Question. What eats die cast ? Like the bodies for these . I have fair amount of cars that are severally corroded. Like looks like it turns them into powder

[@kairus1]

How do I remove tough stains on my die cast chrome Voltron legs ?? I can see my finger prints staining the surface of the die cast chrome and other pars which are plastic chromed. ?? Help

[@aidenthayer4278]

On the mad max gru mobile you should cut the bottom wheel off so it doesn’t look just lifted or just sand it down so it doesn’t look like it was just lifted

[@williamgottlieb8723]

There is another product called CLR that works like Lime-A-Way. Have you tried that one and compared it to this one?

[@michaelrzeszuto777]

I agree he does amazing work. Thank you for your help.

[@youyo2205]

I tried to do this and followed all your instructions but my die cast beyblade part turned black, granted I did use I thick solution of lime away so I was wondering if that made a difference

[@ACrimsonAlgae]

May I know what is the chemical name? I can't find the same trademark around... Does it damage decals?

[@RebelRacer99]

I have an idea for you to try. Nail polish makes an effective and interesting paint for diecast cars, I find that LA Colors Color Craze and Sally Hansen brands work best. It would be cool to see if it could be sprayed through an airbrush tho, as i don't have one and just use the brush in the bottle.

[@baremetalHW]

I've tried nail polish in an airbrush it doesn't work very well

[@RebelRacer99]

If you can't find phosphoric acid for electro-polishing you can buy it as Ospho rust remover at any hardware store. That's ca 40% phosphoric acid solution and sufficiently concentrated for electro-polishing.

How so?

Because I have really rusty well water I have a lot of xp with finding stuff which removes rusty stains. lol! The Works is great for that but might be too harsh on a Hot Wheels car? idk I just know it works better than Lime Away.

Coke might work. Takes rust off a bumper pretty easy.

You always say " wash with soap and water" but what kind of soap? Dish soap, Landry soap, hand soap? I know it sounds stupid but its a serious question .

im thinking the pronunciation of SHARON, is more than likely the same as the Israeli war hero,and Ex-president of Israel, called Sharon, pronounced more like SHAR emphasis on the A, rhyming with car, and RON like the man's name[unless its a woman called Sharon, Shazza]

[@baremetalHW]

Crap... you're absolutely right...

[@kjamison5951]

And I’m thinking along the same lines, the emphasis being on the second syllable. Shar-ON not SHA-ron. But it’s an awesome website! I’m a teeny bit jealous of his garage/shop model...

I always thought is was more like shar-own. The "O" is a long O..I think? and in fact, I would roll the "R" a bit.
