We are going to make a new video (update to this one) so it can help others about what we know of this product plus better video quality! At the time we shot this we were still learning how to edit the videos with software. Thank you!

Thank you. Nice to learn your process. Thanks for not having a guitar or drum beat too. I'd rather listen to the fan and someone who actually does the work speak normally and show what has worked for them.

I've worked with Earl back in the NASA Shuttle days and let me tell you something about this guy he is truly a super human he is utterly an amazing guy, a true artist in his profession, I've seen a project he did turning a 4 door 57 Belair into a 2 door by himself and the car was utterly flawless. Earl and Christy are truly beutiful people. I'm certain you won't find a more honest person then Earl. God bless

Thank you. You appear to be a good, honest and humble guy. It was very informative. I am actually de-rusting the trailing arms on a 1969 VW. Been working on this buggy for 30 years off and on. I drive it because a car is a car. It is not a coin in my collection.

I've used Ospho (it has several other brand names, too like Rust Cure) for years; something that video didn't cover was that once the rust is converted, it makes an unbelievable bond for paint. I've even taken sandblasted metal and allowed it to get just a hint of surface rust so the Ospho would convert it and give my primer/paint an incredible bond, far better than bare steel. He called the converted rust an inert material: it is actually a primer. Great stuff!

Good rant! I thought you were going to say something against Ospho, and I wanted to know what it was! I'm into my first project car after a 40 year break, and it's a different world. My car has (had) significant rust issues, and making sure what I do doesn't rust through five years after I paint it is high on my list. Glad you have a high opinion of Ospho, have been using it for a couple of years now. As for your rant, yeah, we are all in this together and the time I spend working on my project is precious. I work two jobs, have family and other responsibilities. Having good information and developing my skills is the primary reason I come to KZfaq. I don't care about personalities. I care about content.

Very informative earl! Excited to use this product on my next projects. Great to hear passion about products from a "REAL" professional. Great job

I found your video very informative- I also realize the extra effort needed to further your rust issues; I when ever possible treat the backside as well as the front side- just add,s a few minutes to the protection process; thank you, PJP

Nice listening to a honest perspective..

The ONLY acid cleaners SPI recommends is Opsho, PPG and DuPont metal preps as long as their instructions are followed to a tee. Use any other system you want, just do us a favor and use no SPI over them. There can be NO shortcuts for good results. Ospho, is a great product for automotive if used right, we give scare warnings because we want people to call so we can make sure they know how to neutralize it, so no problems will arise. Only one way to use and here it is: Use as needed and apply as many times as needed to get the spot Clean let dry and leave for months if you want, don’t matter. To neutralize the Ospho MUST be wet, so if dry, re-wet with itself and let set one or two minutes and with a clean rag and water, wipe off like washing the car and then dry. Next, then da car with 80 grit, clean with 700-1 wax and grease remover, let set an hour and coat with an epoxy. Notes of interest (maybe) If you try and sand dry film off you will lose 40-60% adhesion (per adhesion tester as some will embed itself in metal and amount depends on how long the Ospho has been on panel as we do know acid films degrade with time but due to many factors we cannot pinpoint a time frame. Just wondering why you do not neutralize the acid before DA?

Well said Earl, I'm going to borrow a bit of this to promote you in a near future video.

Love me some Ospho too, good stuff. I wish I could afford someone of your caliber to paint my 36, you sir have passion for what you do, Kudos. Stay Safe during this insanity.

Thank you! That clears up a lot of my questions about Ospho.🙏

I'm also a fan of Ospho, have used it extensively in the restoration of my '57 Chevy 210. I see you're working on a '57 Chevy as well.

Ben using this stuff for 40 years. Do not let it get on the concrete; it will dissolve concrete. It will also passivate stainless steel.

Thanks for the great information. I just used ospho on my VW bug luggage tray and was confused on next steps

Very informative! I found some bad rust going on under a floormat on the inside of a classic VW and need to pick this up stat!

I came over from Duckman's channels. I don't usually make troll comments but I'm guessing you are using an iPhone. iPhones will reverse the image which is annoying to my OCD brain. I love how precise your work is and enjoy taking in your knowledge. Thanks for the infotainment.

Brevard paint is the same place I got my Ospho. Super cool place with great customer service and good price's. My thinking is that if the are selling it at Brevard Paint supply then it's good stuff.

It's taking me a long time with research thank you for your video here's my question I have a 1995 Chevrolet pickup frame I'm going to have it sandblasted down to bare metal if I use this product can I just leave it on there and paint over it or do I need to wipe it down with paint thinner help me out

Can’t wait for the next one......

Thanks for the video, I’m wondering how to deal with rust that’s coming out from the inside of the panels? Like bottoms of doors rocker panels ect. still solid metal no holes yet... can you treat the insides in this fashion by spaying it in? Or? I’m at a loss on this scenario

GOOD PRESENTATION

Love the reality car show comment! Thanks for the laugh. I've been using Ospho for years restoring my old truck. I won't use any other product.

You're right about TV car shows you can't do a show quality job in a short time. I would like to see those cars in person you would see all the flaws

I thought if you da sand the phosphate coating that removes coating needed to stop rust. Leave the coating as it’s etched to metal To help paint hold on to or epoxy and keeps rust from coming back. If you sand it off then it can’t do it’s job? I could be wrong also . It’s always conflicting info . I still question myself that’s why I was looking up videos lol

Good video. I’m contemplating using ospho on my brake calipers just not sure yet

Have you considered apple cider vinegar for rust removal? For parts, nuts, bolts, etc. Place rusted parts in a pan of sorts. Cover with apple cider vinegar overnight. Whala... clean and shiney.

im gonna use this on a galvanized pipe rack im welding up. after i clean up residue can i use self etching primer or does it have to be epoxy??

I literally hate Ospho! It ruined every fencepost I used it on, on my beautiful new cedar fence.

Good work. I use Ospho also. I just subscribed! Tom

So what do you do if its have to have filler to the spot

So using a iphone cause that effect of reverse image, I was wondering how you did that, I can not wait to see you working on the duckman custom vw.

Rat Rod Bob turned me on to Skyco, told Glen he said he was already using different brand, same stuff.

What brand coating would you put on frame? Like example por 15

In your opinion does ospho need to be rinced With water , other classic car restoration dudes on the youtube , say yes , thoughts

How did you stabilize and neutralize the phosphoric acid or ospho?

Why do you use a DA sander on the product after the 24 hours. Shouldn't you dry it first not take the product off the vehicle?

Nice job

And difference between Ospho and Klean Strip? Seems like the same product for 1/4 the price for Klean Strip.

Can I 2k epoxy primer over ospho? I don't want my paint to start go bubble around my windshield. Doing windshield rust repair

Bout to use Ospho in my trunk, I cut out the whole bottom pan, leaving the supports and all those components. I have surface rust on the wheel arches, under the package tray, trunk hinges. There are a lot of nooks and crannies, places I can't get a d/a sander in. What are my options? Could I just wipe off the ospho the next day then prime? Thank you!

Will the da sander remove the ospho

does imron stick to zink-C ?

Hello. I was wondering if any of the products you have shown after the Ospho come in an aerosol can. I was also wondering would the Ospho clean in between areas like a truck cab that have been spot welded together and you can’t reach them. I have a smallish project and don’t have a compressor or know how to weld. I have some rust in the cab of my truck but slight rust with minimal pitting not rusted through and I want to stop it from spreading.

Great video. I have a question. How do you prep the surface for primer after this product? Some say to reapply the product then rinse. Manufacturer says just wipe down with mineral spirits? What is your method.

I have bad rust on the frame where R bumper connects. Will this stop that? Should I sand to bare metal then apply? Can I bondo over ospho? The rust is rotting this section away and I'm afraid to sand it without doing worse damage.

LoL! My cat piss!

My rant is why was the words backwards on the products @1:45-ish, near the beginning...................

CCC dude, you know that your videos are backwards, right? We can’t read the labels.

Brevard Paint are you on the Space Coast?

What am I missing here, as to why to even use Ospho? Why not just grind away all the rust and use filler, which you'll have to do either way in most cases? My best guess is areas where the remaining metal is very thin, so you can't just grind it down, but I don't get it. This isn't criticism, simply ignorance, but can't find answers.

hey boss whats that zinc chromate? never heard of it. its only for USA maybe?

Cover the concrete under your car with plastic sheeting. Ospho eats concrete. I know from experience.

Yeeeehawww buddy

Hey, I know this is a super old video but. You seem to know what you're doing more so than I do. I just got off the phone with the people that make ospho the guy asked why I would want to neutralize the dried film with water. Said I don't need to rinse it. I'll just create more rust. Just paint over the dried reacted product with any oil-based paint. My project is on frame rust. Is this how you use Ospho?

I had a car completely sand blasted a year ago. The man who sandbjlasted it told me cover the whole car with ospho so it would not flash rust. It is a year later the car is in my shop bear are metal. At this point what would you recommend me doing to prepare the metal for epoxy primer? Some people have told me to re-wet the car with ospho to reactivate it. let it sit for 15 minutes wet, then wash it off with soapy water and air dry before painting epoxy primer. Thanks I would appreciate any input you have

Green kool-aide lmao

We're showing a mirror image of all the pictures you're showing of the products did you know that I don't know what you're doing but it's showing it backwards like I was taking a picture through a mirror can you please correct your dip mix videos

best to spray on
