Elbow Grease!
The engine compartment of the vert had never been cleaned by the original owner. I decided to restore it to new condition. 45 hours, 3 bottles of spray nine, 3 cans of trim shine, 3 rolls of shop towels, 4 rolls of paper towels, 1 can of mothers aluminum polish got me this:
Here's a before shot of the pass side:
AFTER :D
Before and after of the wheels, they took me 2 hours each :eek:
Love that aluminum suspension :cool:
The front of the undercarriage got done, I have to finish that to the back and do the rear suspension and wheels :D
:cheers:

What, do they sell elbow grease on MAD now? Gotta get me some of that.
I spent a week on mine last summer and it doesn't look half as good as that. Good job John.
