StrongArm Sprays Penetrating Oil Restores Antique Schwinn Farm Bicycle...

HERE'S a 'Still In The Family' Schwinn Bicycle originally used by a boy on a Farm in Nebraska around 1950. It has been stored in a shed and barn for the past 45 years. His daughter has had the bike in storage for the past 25 years in her barn. She wanted to restore it and give it back to dad for a surprise gift. He thought it was all rotted away.

Shown here is a complete totally detailed sequence from START TO FINISH of the StrongArm Sprays SIMPLE and EASY restoration procedure of surface conditioning and restoration, along with rust and corrosion removal. These bicycles, just like ALL and ANY old painted machinery from over 20 years ago, was painted with LEAD BASED Paint. As the paint ages and corrodes from dampness moisture in the air as the seasons come and go over time, a dust of ultra fine powered LEAD from the oxidation forms and is all over the surface of the paint. It looks like talcum powder, but it's actually LEAD powder. Rubbing your skin on this painted surface as you see it in the BEFORE pictures, will result in LEAD exposure and poisoning as the powder gets into the pores of your skin. StrongArm Sprays shuts down the lead corrosion enabling the surface to be worked and restored without getting exposure to the lead in the paint. StrongArm Sprays also puts a long term protective coating on the paint which prevents further formation of LEAD oxide - making it SAFE to use and keep it in long term storage without this happening all over again to the paint.

BEFORE	AFTER
	Here's an overall BEFORE and AFTER view of the entire bike. Below is the different areas of the bike, and then pictures of the sequence from start through working the different areas of the bike. This was all done a little at a time over the course of a day and a half.
Here is the chain paint, and chrome before, as it was sitting.	Here is the same chain, paint, and chrome after being cleaned up with StrongArmSprays

	Here's the side of the bike BEFORE on the left, and AFTER above. Look how horrible the bike looks in the before picture. Note how nice the Rubber Hand Grips with the Schwinn name on them are. This bike is all in original condition.
	Here's the side view of the front. Note how nice the painted rims have also come up. Rust spots on the basket brace are treated and will not spread any further. We did NO brushing on that basket unit at all, it was just rag wiped.

	This is the Rear of the Bike in Before and After. Note how nice the rubber tires are rejuvenated with the StrongArm Sprays. These tires were pumped up to 25 pounds and are still in that shape.









Detail here on the treatment process. StrongArm Sprays was applied to the surface and the surface was left to sit overnight. Before is the white LEAD based paint powder and dust on the surface. The first application is where the color is returning and it's still dull looking. The second application is where it's returned to the original finish. The surfaces are wiped with an old dish sponge which is too warn out to do dishes anymore that has a scotch bright pad on one side. The worn pad is used to scrub the surface lightly and remove the oxidation. The sponge behind the pad protects your hands from the LEAD dust that's being pulled up from the surface of the paint. It's that easy. The used sponge is discarded with old shop rags.


	Shown here are the tools that did the job. A regular wire brush, a rag or two, a pair of old scotch bright sponges that were too warn out to keep using in the kitchen sink. Sponges like that are nice and soft and the scrubby pad is so worn it's not rough enough to do any harm to surfaces that are painted or sensitive. It clean the paint and pinstripes perfectly. All the surface rust comes away. StrongArm Sprays will penetrate into the microscopic holes in the paint and eliminate the corrosion below the surface of paint and chrome.
