Anyone into wood floor restoration and care? I just spent two hours shuffling around a bedroom with microfiber towels on my shoes tung oiling the floor. That’s about the most exercise I can handle. Whole second floor west wing of the house smells like orange from the citrus solvent.
Need to put some more coats on next week and attack a few wax stains (at some point the room had a radiator leak and the floor suffered some damage under a rug), but it looks a lot better.
Why can I not add pictures anymore? I tried logging in and out etc.
To the esteemed gentlemen on this thread, I am thinking of taking the GT3 up the PCH from LA to SF to see family next week since it apparently reopened all the way through (would be my first time driving up PCH fully, took Ojai and misc routes the other two times). Hoping to do just one overnight stay somewhere at a good point near the middle to split the distance, don't need to stay at the Post Ranch Inn. Any suggestions on a simple nice place? Or just pick any bed and breakfast and move on? Just looking for a place to sleep 6 hours..

^^^^^^ Future fall victim.............
Instead of using the "paperclip" in the menu bar, try the "scene" icon to the left of the "smiley".
We stayed at the Carmel Highlands Inn on our last road trip. That's just a little further than Post Ranch but a lot less $$. Food was pretty good and views were awesome.
Sebring Dec and Jan are coming up.
I owe some reciprocal GT driving time.
Maybe we can get the band together with the usual suspects.
And bring some Sebring Virgins from the Bay Area with you.
Joe and Max are invited.
Stick a few GT cars on a truck I’ll look after and we can share Barney!
Ill try to come do west coast tracks after I’m done with Lizard and ED.
^ restore wood floor? sand it down and re-stain it.
that is the easy way out
that is like a full repaint on an original paint 356 pre-A
no bueno
touch up and re-oil, no full sanding
I probably have 60 hours into my living room floor, 89 years old never sanded or refinished, it looks like a gunstock now that I am done. I did a thorough cleaning, a couple days on my hands and knees doing touch up staining (sometimes with an artist’s brush), a few light sanding of stains, some buffing with scotchbrite, and eight coats of tung oil (actual 100% tung oil cut with citrus solvent) over the span of a month.

you are my HERO! This is my method. I don’t go fast enough to fall, but it is hell on my knees. By the way, the darker floor is the “before” of the living room. The lighter color is the hall that someone put poly on (need to get that sanded it is so out of place).

Piano Beach, San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, and Cambria and have nice B and B and hotels. Then you have a full day to attack the best part of Hwy 1 to Monterey. Have Fun!

Thanks guys for the recommendations, really appreciate it. Noting these down for the next drive, turns out I am a bit pressed for time this weekend but still want/need to do the drive up. Will just take I5 up to SF and just spend a full day (no overnight) taking the PCH south to LA on the return. Next go around plan to overnight to enjoy more of the scenery and have more time for pictures
