Since the weather here sux, but needed to get out of the house into the garage, I decided to do something which was a regular part of cleaning a car when these were new in early 70s. Got out the Mothers metal cleaner and hit the bumpers, door pulls, mirror, trim, and other bright work and was amazed at the crap which came off. More amazing was the resulting shine. It will never be a concours car, but getting off years of ground in bugs, oil and tar made one helluva difference. Try it one of these days when you don't want to take on a real project and want a little instant gratification. No suggestions for the impact bumper cars except some rubber cleaner and dressing. Oh also used some Forever Black on the bumper tops - looking good.

Peanut oil is the best for the bumper tops. Long time 914 guy told me this. I tried it on an old and bad bumper top to validate his claim. I am amazed at it's ability to re-energize the rubber tops.

I would think that winter time is the best time to do this and let it set.

Nice job polishing. I love MOHTER's Metal Polish.

just watched an auction on tv tonight.
you think you have chrome to polish.....



def. one of the coolest cars I have ever seen.......

Stu

The owner of that car can pay someone to polish it for him.

Is my car gonna smell like Chinese food?

I knew the picture issue would come up. Unless extremely high resoluton was used, which I do not own, I doubt it would ever show. So ya either got to take my word for it, or try it yourself.

Wouldn't mind seeing a photo of your car anyway

Mine is up on jackstands. I live vicariously through the folks that have drivers.
