Project Resurrection!
I'm starting to work on the inside when the buffer needs to cool down. Here are the horror pics of the inside.

I'm still working on the buffing, had a few cars that had to be bumped to the front of the line. Hopefully I'll finish the buffing on wednesday.

Hey great job man! What did you use to clean the wheels?
I have a DD '92 z28 that has brake dust baked in from before I owned it. I cant find anything that will get it out. Suggestions???

This really looks about like the shape my Z28 was in when I got it home. Outside, inside, and almost on the wheels. I gave it a 8 hour "once over" and that didn't even include wax, I've been maintaining it and am going to give it a thourough once over on Spring Break when I get it in a garage for a week. I can't wait. This is great motivation!
The wheels took 8 hours to do because they had about 5 years of buildup. I asked my uncle to describe how often he washed it, and he said he took good care of it for the first year or so, then let it go. He is the original owner.
I used the Mother's Buff Ball and Buff Ball Mini and that got most of it off. Then i had to switch to Mothers Chrome Polish with #000 steel wool and that cut through everything else really well.
#000 steel wool will NOT scratch, so don't let it scare you off.

Here are a few pics from today. Mostly pics of stuff that still needs to be addressed. I WILL be finishing the buffing tomorrow.
