Is Denatured Alcohol the same as Fuel ?

[George House]

I’m trying to mix a MT Roadworthy Rescue concoction called “Shine Juice”. Already have the Boiled Linseed Oil and now looking for Denatured Alcohol. Big box hardware only carry cans labeled in large letters ‘FUEL’ with ‘denatured alcohol’ listed underneath. … That the same ?

No doubt it is obviously labeled “FUEL” to protect teenagers from going blind

Check on the container for a phone number of the manufacturer. Or maybe "distributed by" and Google for a contact number.

I Googled "Denature Alcohol" and founds loads of products labeled with that in large letters with alcohol fuel in smaller letters below.

What is the mixture intended to do?

I believe it is a low cost way to improve the looks and prevent further deterioration of decayed painted surfaces, such as badly weathered old cars. It can bring up color and gives a low gloss to badly weathered paint, rubber, etc. You can rub it on with a rag after washing the vehicle, and perhaps going over surface rust patches with fine steel wool or ScotchBrite. It's no substitute for a re-paint, but it can greatly improve the looks of a weathered car while delaying further deterioration. Scratched, rust-spotted bumpers and pitted trim can be cosmetically improved by going over them with very fine steel wool and WD 40, then washing off the oil the oil and spraying the rusty spots and scratches with a quality silver rattle can paint. When the paint is completely dry, rub over it with very fine steel wool to expose the good chrome and leave silver paint in the pits and scratches. Be careful around any peeling chrome. It can cut like a razor.
