Bob seems to have picked up where Chuck Z and Afshin left off... absolute perfection!

Congrats! Nice wheel wells! What do you use to clean them? I find that this stuff called Xenit is great for removing the cosmoline. Practically effortless... just spray on and lightly scrub off.

Congratulations, beautiful GT (I liked it from the moment you discovered it and have been posting about it)!
You can eat from those wheel wells, wow... Same question as Range Rover & Bertrand: what do you use to clean them?

Thanks again all for the comments..
As far as how I got the wheel wells clean, when I got the car one of the previous owners had sprayed black tar undercoating over the cosmoline?? don't know why.
I used Stoner's Tarminator ( same company that makes the Xenit) except if had a pretty strong fume to it, so I also used Turtle Wax bug and tar remover which foams and does not run off the sides. I waited 10 or so minutes and then used a micro fiber rag to get the tar off. I recoated with the turtle wax bug and tar and used a brass welders brush (as fine bristles as I could find) ) and gently was able to cut thru the rest of the undercoating and then cosmoline. Finished up with speed shine to clean up and then spray wax and voila.
The brass brush did not mark the paint, springs or suspension parts, just have to be careful not to get too aggresive.
Couple pixs from the show on the NCR region site already. Shows my engine compartment and other one of me (bald guy with the tan shirt next to the very shiny red 928!)
