This car is 100% stock. It's an Arizona car , so it's rust-free. It had been sitting, waiting, for almost 2 years, and not regulary driven for even more. It was by mere chance that this car came into my life, and I am so glad it did.

In a new light, years of neglect is sadly obvious:








Let's get to work!

what are you using to get into those really tiny spots to polish that?

I've just been using really strong degreaser (it's called Purple Power) and old hand towels, wrapped tight around my index and middle fingers. It works really well, but really dries out my fingers.

I see lots of people use WD40, a paint brush, and microfiber towels, but I have yet to try it.
