-Bleche White Tire Cleaner
-Detailers Domain EZ Detail Brush
-Boars Hair Brush

Engine Bay/Door Shuts:
-P21S Total Auto Wash for door shuts and bugs on front end
-Eimann Fabrik Engine Cleaner
-Meguiars Boars Hair Brush

-Followed by CG's Blue Claybar and Soap and Water solution (as I was out of CG's Luber)

-Citrus based adhesive remover was used on lower rockers and rear bumper to remove road tar too large to remove with claybar

Paint Assessment and Correction Steps:

-Hood

I agree, Europa > No-go-ro

Well done on the before and after shots.

SilberUrS6 · 02-16-2009, 04:32 PM

What flavor of AVUS are those in the "after" shots?

I have a Lago 90q20V for you to do, LOL.

The end result offers hope for similar specimens we so often see roaming the streets looking like they are far too close to their graves.
