- I hunted in an old junkyard in Kansas and bought an old Quaker state tin sign that was in very poor condition. This sign had better days because it was without a frame very flimsy and faded. I will show you how to bring back life and luster to such a antique sign.
Rob, the sign got nice.
As it was told below, the wooden frame valued the item very much.
Congratulations.
Thank you my friend!!!! I am very happy you visited my channel again.
That hand cleaner reminds of Gojo hand cleaner. The last time I used that was back in the late 1980s when I was a Mobile installer of Vinyl Tops and Sunroofs on cars. All the body shops and used car lots had Gojo. I can smell that stuff now..Haaaa The sign looks Awesome
Yeah I remember gojo
Thank you ! I find it very interesting you mentioned Gojo last night before releasing this video I was wondering how well Gojo would work compared to this Purple Power . I remember Gojo had a non abrasive type as well as a more abrasive type. I also remember that smell haha. I did not mention it but Purple Power also has a fantastic smell ! Thanks for visiting and commenting. Gas Pump Rob
Hi rob the sign looks great . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Thanks Peter! Please take notice of the channel name change to Petro Media. As always appreciate your support.
@@gaspumprob i had to put new name in to find it all good
Looks awesome☕️👊👍👍👍💖🍺
Thank you very much. This old sign would look great in a car themed cafe or car collector’s garage.
Great tutorial Rob !
Looks good buddy, night and day difference! Thanks for showing how you did it.
Thanks Brian I appreciate you visiting again and leaving a comment.
Sign looks great it’s amazing how well they clean up with mild abrasive
Ive just cleaned a ford 100 truck sign with wash and wax car cleaner
The worse they are
The better they come up if that makes sense!!!!!!!!!
Thanks - I am very pleased with the results. I agree with what you said about the worse they are the better they turn out. More dramatic results! BTW I like the Ford F-100 trucks!!!
I like the rusty DIP sign. My wife insist on using quaker state oil in her car. You scored 😎
Thank you! When I was 16 years old I used Quaker State oil in my first car! That car still runs today and I continue to drive it . 😊
@@gaspumprob that great. My wife's car just hit 170K miles and still running strong. :)
Also I wanted to say great job on that wooden frame. That color stain is great. It has great contrast with the sign.
Thank you very much. It is Spanish oak stain . I thought a dark color would be best with this sign. Overall I am pleased with the results. Have a great day and thank you for visiting my channel.
Looking good Petro Rob! I do remember when you got those Nehi signs in Kansas because you also scored some cool gas pumps parts as well!
I sure did and I still have those parts! Thank you for your continued channel support.
Thanks for another , Brother !
Thank you for watching another!!! More videos coming soon! Have a great day.
Very cool 👍👍
Thank you 😎 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good tip on the hand cleaner. Reminds me of GOOP. Nice job on the frame too. I remember you getting the NEHI signs...I bet those are gonna look good too. Entertaining and informative vid my friend. Thank You.
Thanks my friend. I also remember Goop!!!! I should buy several different brands and do a comparison test sometime. It is the lanolin that gives the luster to the old paint. It also works well on porcelain signs. I ran out of time but will definitely build frames for the NEHI signs soon. Thanks for visiting. Have a great day.
@@gaspumprob I keep a half gallon with a push pump of the orange based product WWGrainger carries. I think they actually call it Fast Orange. I like the regular but I accidentally got pumice in the last one I bought. LOL Keep up the good work my friend.

I like Shell !
You didn't want to paint it for fear of loosing it's original rustic look?
Yes I figured leave it alone. I did not pay more than $40.00 for this sign. It is a bit faded
Hand cleaner brand seems readily available on internet. Get technique!
Thanks for mentioning that! I had not looked it up but will. I appreciate you researching it . Have a great day.
The other thing I have notice is that you've changed your name. Are you joining the Mr Wilson crowd? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤕
That means I laughed so hard that it hurt. 🤣🤔. So one thing about it is will catch you out in the ranch partner. You might use some rawhide themes. Also I'm trying to help you and your algorithm. We'll see what the name change does. I've actually changed a few times on my channel this one. They were subtle changes. Maybe I should freshen it up again. Probably no time soon.
Thank you for noticing the channel name change!!! I might offer tee shirts and hats in the future with a old truck , a gas pump, and maybe a gas station sign and thought this channel name would attract more people to purchase them . I don’t think many people would want to wear a shirt with my name on it 😂😂😂😂
@@gaspumprob I think the sign turned out great. I thought it was a little dark and stain like Walnut at Spanish oak would be the same or similar. I don't know if it'd be copyright infringement but your shirt should have a gas pump with the hose and handle kind of outstretched as if somebody was holding it facing a T-shirt and it could say I'm here to pump ⛽ you up! Then you can have something in a different size lettering that said gas pump Rob TH-cam well now I guess it'd be ranch. My wife compared your pump ranch to Cadillac ranch maybe you have there. A classic Chevy Ford in Dodge truck maybe all three of them but one for shirt with the front grill prominent pulling away from a classic fuel pump at the gas station ⛽. Also with a tall post sign setting a little bit farther back into the shirt, a tall post sign. ESSO, TEXACO, PHILLIPS 66, SHELL, MOBILE, AND THERE'S ONE THAT'S MORE PROMINENT ON THE EAST COAST. I can't think of it right now but they were in the news because they lowered the gas prices during Thanksgiving to $1.99 per gallon. they are dominant around Pennsylvania and neighboring states but there is a competitor and it seems like they've got a gentleman's agreement to not cross a certain line but between the two of them they pretty much control the market. Whatever you think but just some ideas. Seriously you can have them printed out in Oklahoma there's a fantastic quality place to use better shirt materials and hats and so forth. I'll send you a marketing counseling invoice pretty soon 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I don't think anybody else to get that joke. 🧰😎

You are a thinker and very creative with your shirt design ideas 💡Thanks for the feedback. 1.99 really??? We are at best paying $4.50 on a Sunday sale at a local station. It’s still $5.00 or more a gallon out here.
@@gaspumprob we are roughly at the 250 mark. Between that and 2.75. it was on the news on Google and other places back around the first part of November that we could expect prices below $2 a gallon probably by thanksgiving. That has not happened. But the wholesale fuel cost has dropped. But I still hard to believe that gas prices are so high where you're at. 🤕🤕🤕
@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 It’s horrible out here. I’m still paying close to six dollars a gallon for diesel fuel.
Dude
You washed of the paint
I understand what you are saying but what you saw was some white chalk residue that was not stable which washed off slightly. What is left is pretty stable. This sign had been sunburned and deteriorated for decades living outside. Appreciate your input. Thanks for visiting today.
