Hey, it's concours season and with Jafsmith's major score under his belt I feel it's time to ask:
Glycerine on rubber? How is it used? Ritz Cloth on windows? Back To Black on rubber? Polish, buff, and shine? Vinyl care? How about wheelwells? Can I use Formula 409? Back in my last 914 incarnation, in the 80's, the hot product was P21S for wheels. Anything knock it off its throne? How about NoTouch spray on tires? Would the weenies and winners please list some of their favorite tips and products for the best looking original 914 finish? Thanks! Paul And can you seriously use peanut butter on the rubber seals? Do you ever close the hood again??? (Was that tongue in cheek???) A nod to Miss America: do you use vaseline on your teeth when you smile for the judges? Prep H on your sagging bags under your eyes after an all night cleaning session? Nah, I don't really want to know.... |

Nah, I don't really want to know.... Paul, EXCELLENT POST! Although the Miss America post is strange. But, working in retailing, I've had many women who come in for PrepH for the bags - apparently it works! Now, as many of you know, I've expounded on my "personal" products of preparation. But, I'm an old-timer. Used up. No longer good for contemporary concours tools. On death's edge. Used up - oh yeah, i already said that! Caput! No longer able to clean a wheel well, whatever that is. So...let's hear from Jafsmith, the back-to-back winner. Whatcha got to add James? Pat |
