I month or so ago Darin Sheffer showed his method of cleaning with Softscrub and the way his gargoyle can turned out.
Well I used his method before and destroyed a can
....
DONT USE THE SOFTSCRUB WITH BLEACH...
But life goes on...
On my other thread I posted a Gargoyle Process can that i bought and the item numbers of the ones he had sold. There was another one today.
This can does not pop up for sale to often. The other version, yet similar with the greek-key pattern, is more common. So I had to be careful, as I am poor and can't afford a super nice one.
So here is the can before:
I used some Softscrub this time and VOILA!!
After:
Now all of this is not from Softscrubbing the can. I did use some 320 grit sand-paper on the seam and the top. This was very time consuming trying not to touch the lithograph. The seam was very very rusty but i am pleased with the results. The lid was unreadable so i buffed it a tad to reveal the "AF". It could use some more but that is a project for a different day.
The greek-key was a bit faded on the one side so i did put a little touch up paint to make it look a bit better. I know it is not the best job, but it is easily reversible.
So overall i am happy with the results of the can and it was the best 25 bucks, plus 4.95 shipping, i have spent on Mobiloil cans to date.
