So are you and Andreas in some sort of "Clean Club"?


1st RULE: You do not talk about CLEAN CLUB.

2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about CLEAN CLUB.

3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, scoop them out with the cosmoline.

4th RULE: Only two guys to a car.

5th RULE: One car at a time.

6th RULE: No gloves, no goggles.

7th RULE: Cleaning will go on as long as it has to.

8th RULE: If this is your first night at CLEAN CLUB, you HAVE to clean.

 

Very nice! I wonder how the finish will hold up to the elements over time.

BTW, your rear brake disc is rusty.

 

damn man, you must have a lot of free time. Every time I'm under there I try to degunk a little, and it adds literally hours to the job.

Looks very nice, but you are gonna cry yourself to sleep if you ever get an oil leak.

 

Well, I gotta say, I'm impressed.
I don't have a lift and have been able to get my engine / undercarriage etc. pretty darn clean using just 'jackstands' and just crawling under. But I have to say, it IS a very dirty and tedious job - and NOT for the easily-depressed or easily-dejected. It's a job that requires 'eating crow' and showing 'committment'.

Now that the cosmoline etc. is OFF the metal -- suggest you swab the whole place down with a good metal-conditioner / metal polish (that has silicone in it) so as to protect the metal surface from 'the weather'. I personally swab the whole place down with a silicone-based metal polish and THEN put a layer of Aerospace 303 protectant on with a sponge. In that way the 'shine' is retained and yet there's a (hidden) layer of protectant.

where can I get this ? ( 100,000 BTU diesel fired truck mounted carpet cleaner )

 

Don't tell Andreas that there's a new sheriff in town.

 

Nicely done, I hope to see you at the next Porsche Parade Concours where you will find people even nuttier than you...not to mention the race teams that claim they can't stand the Concours thing and then disassemble and clean every little part between sessions, its a good idea all around!
I've found that Wurth Orange Cleaner is the best thing to remove cosmoline with. Once it is clean like this I think it is easier to keep things running cooler and spot any leaks, so good job. Cole

 

The bar has been raised!

Nice work Chris!



Bob-

 

There is nothing wrong with you, you are completely normal and you are my new hero.

 

Wow...this is insane. Nice job and I'm glad to hear you actually still drive the car!!!

 

Reminiscent of ole Alex Cagann, who we coined the term "Cagannizing" after, he spent some 20+ Hours hand polishing his Fuchs.

 

Isn't this it?

 

Looks great!

I bet with out the lift & industrial presser washer, it would be very hard to duplicate!

Now the question is how much time did you invest? I've only gone as far as the wheel wells, & want to keep it that way.

 

Yep. Turned in my badge when I saw pic #3.

Decent, four-post lifts are really that inexpensive?
