[QUOTE="Semis57, post: 13122, member: 538"] Thanks for your insight, fellas. I have not yet tackled the detailing aspect, have just been washing and maintaining, if you will. I have been looking for a place to power polish the car and repair the chips, but have not yet found one that will do good work for a reasonable price. Everyone wants to charge through the rof, with no guarantee I'm gonna like what I see when they're done. Once I get to that "clean slate" stage, of a chip-repaired, cut/polished surface, I will try some of these great products discussed here. Might even try our sponsors product, World'sBest Wax! Couple more things--- best way to remove bugs? One guy I talked to uses WD-40. That's on his year old BMW, and he isn't afraid to use it for bugs or tar. Under-hood detailing- anyone have any tricks there? The car was SO clean when I got it, but 2 weeks on these city streets and I have little bits of gravel, dust, and road film everywhere. Can I just use a degreaser and a garden hose? Where should I keep the spray away from? Don't wanna kill any electronics or anything. Thanks, and I'll post, with pix, later in the summer when I get 'er all cleaned up. I'm also replacing the floor in a '57 Chev sedan right now, so not a ton of time left over to do the detailing stuff. [/QUOTE]
