I'm almost a driver convert since getting the headers on my car... about all I think about anymore are those third gear runs to 7K :razz:

Your car looks damn nice! Nothing looks better than a black car detailed up ;)

[GOLDCYLON]

Looks great :hello:

[tomtom72]

That 89 is clean too! :worship:
75k miles? How do you keep the road rash off the lower panels and the wheel house liners?

Man, I was cleaning mine yesterday and that stuff is getting to look like it needs a repaint. Although, in defense of me...:redface:the rockers were pretty bad when I got the car...I put mud flaps on it and that helped keep the rash from getting really bad.

:thumbsup:that's a sweet collection of C4's!

:cheers:

[White Bullet]

Nice, very nice:jawdrop:.

Hi,

The '89 has seen some rain in its life, (not a whole lot since I had it) I bought it in 1998 with 42K on it, Took it to BG twice, Indy 500, Carlisle every year since I had it, and a bunch of trips to Skyline Dr. in Virginia.

I use wenol on the a-arms, and other engine/ and exhaust parts.
Light coat of maguire's endourance gel on everything else.
It works good, and does not give it that overly greasy look to everything (too much of it will attract dust)
Get it clean, then use some clear coat model spray on the wheel wells, be carefull of overspray, It makes later cleanings easier.

Oh yea, Zaino on the '89 also.....:-D

The '95 has'nt been waxed in its life nor have I used any clear coat on it, just light cleaning.
I have the whole originality complex going....:dontknow:

:cheers:

[Z Factor]

Very nice :thumbsup:

If you want to enjoy some great weather I will give you a condo for a long weekend if you want to detail mine.

:cheers:

[tomtom72]

:thumbsup: Thanks for sharing your detail tips! When i get around to pulling the wheels I'll see what I can borrow from your steps.

I use never dull on most of my metals, followed by Klassie AIO. I may try the AIO on the plastic this time. I was using undercarriage dressing from Adam's. It's just that my liners are rough to the touch from the sand blasting and that annoys me when I'm trying to make that stuff "disappear". I may eventually have to do some wet sanding on them to get them smooth again.

I could never use Zaino on mine, it'll make all the swirls show up!

:cheers:

Tom with a little work you can remove/hide most of those swirls. Zaino would help your cause not hurt it. Aerospace 303 is also a great product for rubber and plastic. It leaves a clean dry matte finish that last a long time. :thumbsup:

:hello: Rick, how's the customizing going?

Yea, if I had a machine, I like that new Flex orbital, I would have a fairly good chance of keeping up with the paint. I'm just at a bit of a disadvantage as I lost my car wash privileges where I work, new board of directors & new building policies. I offered to pony up cash for the water, it was a no go.:(

I've had to use local hand car wash places for the last two yrs. You know it's just not the same as when you wash your own car. They gotta make a profit. I'm reduced to using a carnuba spray detailer as my LSP to hide most of the stuff. She's okay from maybe 5', and most of the time she's a great 10 footer!:sign10:

Putting the 3 piece rims back together today (40 bolts per wheel) Tires will get mounted tomorrow. I'll post some pics.

Hi,

Sure, a trip to Fl. sounds good right about now. I could use a break from the snow and cold.! Would have to dissapear from the wife for a weekend....:dancing
Tom,

Zaino WILL work for you also. Yes it takes some time, but it will get out swirl marks.

I've tried the never dull, but the Wenol was far superior in looks and how long it lasts.
Its very easy to get everything too shiny, some people think its chrome.
:cheers:
