Hello,
We are currently polishing some brass on a car (following The Henry Ford's recommendations for brass cleaning), and normally we remove brass pieces from the car so that we do not damage the paint. We have some fittings, however, which simply cannot be removed. Does anybody have recommendations on how we can protect the paint?
The paint on the car is, I should note, not original. The car was restored in the 1970s, and while I'm not terribly concerned because of its originality or anything, I am concerned because the paint job is not good. There are areas where the paint is just bubbling up or cracking (seems to be common in 1970s restorations that we've seen-whether the paint then just wasn't as good or the cars weren't properly prepped, or a combination of the two). We essentially don't want to make the paint worse than it already is.
Thanks,
Kendra Cook
